Attached is an information paper written by Autism Queensland in 2014 which does a good job of explaining some of the history and changes in the way Autism Spectrum Disorder is now diagnosed. It also includes the description of the levels (severity ratings).

This is a great little animated video. We cannot claim ownership as it is straight off You Tube. It is 5 minutes and 30 seconds long. 

There are some other animated videos, you may like to use them to explain things to your children, their friends, classmates or family members.

We think this little video embodies what we stand for. 
Learning to stand on your own two feet is the first step.  
Once we can help ourselves - we will be able to help others.
