Most autistic people experience the sensory world differently, such as places being too loud or too bright.

Key Points: 
  • Most autistic people experience the sensory world differently, such as places being too loud or too bright.
  • Autistic people are often misunderstood by non-autistic people who fail to recognise how autistic people show empathy.
  • This misunderstanding is embedded in many government bodies, which can result in dehumanising policies and services that do not meet autistic people’s needs.
  • We looked at the areas described by William Beveridge, founder of the UK welfare state, as “the five giants”: health, education, employment, poverty and housing.
  • Despite autistic people accounting for only 3% of the population, around 80% of those sent to pupil referral units are autistic.
  • Of the 42% of autistic adults who say they need help to access work, only 12% are getting it.
  • In the most severe cases, autistic people have died due to abusive and/or negligent treatment while in residential care.

A cumulative impact throughout life

    • These failures have a cumulative impact throughout life.
    • A lack of accommodations in education leads to less likelihood of securing accessible employment and greater reliance on benefits and social housing.
    • To improve this, the policy-making process needs to be made accessible to disabled people so that services meet our needs.

    The latest research found children talked more about others thoughts and emotions, a concept known as internal state language (ISL), when playing with dolls than while playing tablet games.
  • When children create imaginary worlds and role play with dolls, they communicate at first out loud and then internalize the message about others' thoughts, emotions and feelings, said researcher Dr. Sarah Gerson.
  • During observation of children*, researchers saw increased brain activity in the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) region when they spoke as though their dolls had thoughts and feelings.
