A fully resourced KS3 PSHE lesson exploring autism, neurodiversity and inclusion.

Students learn what autism is, explore why autism is described as a spectrum, challenge common misconceptions, consider the experiences of autistic people, and reflect on how greater understanding can help create a more inclusive society. The lesson promotes empathy, respect and awareness while celebrating neurodiversity.
