In this Autism Infocast, you'll learn about the unique challenges many autistic people navigate daily. We cover common difficulties in social communication, like understanding subtle cues, and sensory processing, where everyday sounds or lights can be overwhelming. We'll give you insights into executive functioning differences, such as planning, and how managing change impacts well-being. You'll gain a deeper understanding of why these challenges arise and the significant role co-occurring conditions can play. We'll help you to appreciate that these are not personal failings but different ways of experiencing the world, fostering empathy and supporting autistic people to thrive in a more inclusive society.
