1 In their article, Lauren Hooper and Anna Remington outline the key features of autism (or autism spectrum disorder, ASD). These include the ‘clinical characteristics’ of autism, for example difficulties with social communication, repetitive behaviour patterns and unusual reactions to sensory inputs (lights, sounds, etc). Read more about the clinical characteristics used to diagnose ASD at www.tinyurl.com/ya2kea7g.
Now imagine that you have one or more of these characteristics yourself and write a diary of what your typical day might be like (interactions with your family members, experiences at school etc). Include positive as well as negative experiences.
