Making Sense of Autism

Making Sense of Autism is an online training course for autistic people as well as their caregivers. This is an online course that you can complete in your own time and at your own pace, over a month. Created by a team of autistic and non-autistic trainers, the course consists of a series of short films complemented by a set of written learning materials (PDFs). The films and learning resources together provide a clear understanding of the sensory processing difficulties that many autistic people experience, as well as suggesting ways to reduce and respond to these difficulties. Attention is focused on each of the sense systems in turn, including the interoceptive, proprioceptive and vestibular systems that are so important for regulation and wellbeing. This project is supported by the National Autism Team for Wales (NAT), funded by Welsh Government.
