How to overcome the difficulties of learning, when you are autistic; what strategies to use (My Story) MASTER CLAS LINK: https://www.theaspieworld.com/steps/ I have been through school from primary all the way to a BSc degree in chemistry, and have had my fair share of ups and downs with the system. Luckily I had a fantastic support system in the university I attended and I was able to pick up some awesome strategies. Here are my top 3 autism education strategies to help you. 1. Audio Record / Cam Clip Slides Using a smart phone and or tablet, record the lectures in audio format to listen to again later. Also take pictures of the slides and whiteboards to reference them later on. 2. Label & Date All Paper Work Using a system of: At the start of every day when getting paper hand outs or notes, mark the date and page number at the top. You can then compile a timeline of hand outs later for revision. 3. Buddy System / Mentor Having a buddy or a mentor to help you emotionally and socially in academia is a very important part of the process.

This is the interesting truth about autism facial expressions and the understanding of facial emotions. As autism impacts the communication part of the brain, there is no surprise that Autistc people have major issues with understanding and identifying peoples facial expressions. But it isn’t just identifying other peoples facial expressions it’s also knowing how to form the appropriate facial expression can be super difficult for autistic people to understand. There are a few reasons why this may be an issue. First off it is common for autistic people to not make eye contact which would cause a lack of visually looking at someone’s face. Another reason is that the communication issues that impact people on the autism spectrum can interfere with the way in which you track and observe emotions on peoples faces.
