Secondary Special Needs - Understanding Autism
Twenty-year-old John Simpson, who himself is on the autistic spectrum, guides us through the theory and reality of life for many ASD pupils at secondary school.
John is keen to help raise awareness to ensure future generations of pupils with ASD get more from a mainstream school environment. As well as sharing his own story, he speaks to Autism West Midlands' Sue Hatton about the condition, and Mike Collins from the National Autistic Society, who reveals the terms used to describe people on the spectrum.
We hear from the parents of an autistic child about their day to day life, and we hear ideas from the experts about how teachers can further include ASD pupils.

This is a great resource for anyone who wants to know a little more about ASD. I shall be recommending it to support workers in schools who are studying on our SWiS and STL programmes.

This is really good - I have a asignment and couldn't understand what Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder was and how to deal with it in a classroom but this film has been of great help.

I am 21yrs old and have Aspergers Syndrome and i enjoyed watching the video as it gave me more understanding on how i can help others who have contact with people with A.S.D. I was just wondering if John Simpson has S.P.L.D. (Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder) as that is closely linked with A.S.D.
Hope to meet in the future

ASD unit2 December 2007 - 10:34
I am in the process of setting up an ASD area in our Secondary School. This video gave a clear explanation of how some of these students cope/don't cope but I now need to know how to help them in school.
Is there anyone that I should contact? I have already visited the North School in Faversham.
