Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK. Autism may allow individuals to have excellent memories, be resilient and determined.

         

ADHD and ADD can affect your ability to organise and get started on tasks, your focus, the ability to regulate your alertness and let yourself relax when you need to, and to deal with emotions. Individuals may be energetic, spontaneous, hyperfocused, creative and inventive.
