In this section, we will look at learning disabilities and autism. A learning disability is a lifelong condition that affects how a person understands information and communicates. It can impact reading, writing, problem-solving, or understanding instructions. People with a learning disability may need extra support to learn new things, but with the right help, they can live full and independent lives. It is important to recognise that a learning disability is not the same as a learning difficulty, such as dyslexia. Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a lifelong developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world around them. Autism is a spectrum, meaning it affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. Some people may need significant support daily, while others may live independently. People with autism may have difficulty understanding social cues, prefer routine and structure, and may have intense interests or heightened sensitivity to sounds, lights, or textures. With the correct understanding and support, autistic individuals can thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
