Autism Day

On Tuesday 24^th May 2016 it was Autism Day for all students at Heathlands Primary School.   Autism is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

 

Everybody enjoyed learning about autism and how it affects others. Ollie (year 3) showed a PowerPoint to every class at Heathlands about autism and what it is like to have it.

 

“I enjoyed autism day because we got to learn how it affects people who are autistic.” – William

 

“It was really interesting to learn about autism and to learn about somebody who is autistic.”  Bethany
