Autism Awareness Week in Gateway Base

As part of a series of activities recognising Autism Awareness week, Learners in Gateway Base have been discovering more about what it means to be autistic. We shared experiences of children who live with Autism as well as some myth busting activities.

Following discussions we used our performance skills to put ourselves in the shoes of people who have Autism to try and understand what life is like. 

We learnt about the challenges facing such a large number of children which helped us understand a small part of the difficulties they face.
