Problems facing people with autism

People with autism spectrum disorders face many problems on a day to day basis.

For example, they may find it difficult to communicate with other people or to socialise with them. And they may have additional conditions, such as epilepsy, which bring their own problems.

Or they may simply feel frustrated at trying to cope with other people’s ignorance and prejudice about autism and what it actually means.

Relatives and carers of people with autism also face problems on a day to day basis.

For example, many of them become worried and exhausted looking after someone with autism. And they face the frustration of trying to find accurate information about interventions which work. Or of trying to cope with the lack of adequate services.

So it is important that people with autism, and their carers, can find practical solutions to those problems.
