Overview
The Understanding Autism course at The University of Kent by FutureLearn has been certified by the CPD Certification Service, which means it can be used to provide evidence of your continuing professional development.
Key facts
- Autistic people experience the world in ways that are different from non-autistic people. This includes differences in communication and sensory experiences.
- These differences can often disadvantage autistic people as they navigate the non-autistic world. All autistic people will share these key differences but this may appear very differently in each person.
- Around 700,000 people in the UK are autistic, 1 in every 100 people. There are no blood tests or brain scans that can tell us if a person is autistic - so what exactly are we talking about?
