My mom noticed a brochure about autism in her local health centre and passed it on to me. The brochure is published by the National Autistic Society and is available free in health centres in the UK.
I like the brochure, because it gives an easy to understand explanation of what autism is and how it affects people. It gives tips on how to communicate with someone who has autism, things like avoiding metaphors and non-literal phrases and giving the person time to respond.
I also like the way that the brochure uses real-life experiences of both people with autism and their carers to illustrate how autism affects individuals in different ways.
The website for the National Autistic Society is:
