    What is

    ASD

    People with ASD experience difficulties with:


    Social interactions, situations and customs;
    Communication skills; and
    "For children with
    autism
    Repetitive or stereotyped interests and behaviour. (Education.qld.gov.au,
    2015)

    "In 2012, 5% of children with


    autism attended school and
    did not experience any
    educational restrictions. Of
    the 95% of children who did
    experience some restrictions,
    6% of children were not able
    to attend school because of
    their disability and 44%
    needed to attend either a
    special class in a mainstream
    school, or a special
    school" (Abs.gov.au, 2014)

    who were attending


    school, 86% reported
    having difficulty at
    school, the majority of
    whom had difficulty with
    fitting in socially, learning
    and
    communication. Children
    with autism may need a
    high level of support to
    attend school, with 36%
    needing a counsellor or
    disability support person
    and 39% requiring special
    tuition. Of those children
    with autism attending
    school, 13% did not
    receive any additional
    support (excluding
    attending a special school
    or attending special
    classes in mainstream
    schools)" (Abs.gov.au,
    2014).

    Ensuring
    Success for
    Students with
    Many people
    with ASD also
    ASD
    encounter sensory
    sensitivity affecting their
    daily lives. Although the
    characteristics mentioned
    above are quite standard
    for people with ASD, each
    person has unique
    characteristics, interests,
    skills, personality traits,
    strengths, weaknesses,
    barriers as well ideas and
    beliefs. The best way to
    support these students is
    on a case by case basis
    whilst having a general
    understanding of how to
    best support their needs
