Autism affects the way a person experiences their environment and therefore the way they communicate. Autistic people often experience their senses more intensely than others meaning the world can feel overwhelming at times. There are many skills associated with Autism such as honesty and directness, attention to detail, an ability to find or create patterns, processing information and memory. At Genius Within our approach with clients is to maximise their strengths, as well as develop strategies to remove obstacles.
A broad spectrum
Autism is often referred to as a spectrum because experiences vary so widely from person to person. Whilst this is true, it is best not to think of it as a straight line, but rather a colour wheel with everyone having different strengths and challenges.
