A thread of reasonable adjustments for #autistic people at schools. Please share/retweet this thread. #autism /1

Announce any changes to school schedule in advance and explain those changes clearly to the #autistic person. #autism /2

Some #autistic students struggle coping with background classroom noise. From my personal experiences, headphones have helped me block out background classroom noise. Headphones may help. #autism /3

Some #autistic people struggle with working in a group. Please give the autistic person choice on whether they want to work on their own or in a group. #autism /4

If an #autistic person is struggling with noise in the dinner hall, they may benefit from sitting in a quieter room to have their lunch. #autism /5

If an #autistic person is struggling with a meltdown at school, please give them time to calm down. #autism /6

Some #autistic people have a slower thinking process. Extra time in exams may help. #autism /7

Some #autistic people struggle with overcrowded corridors when changing lessons (mostly in secondary schools). It may help by allowing the autistic person to leave the classroom a few minutes earlier to avoid the crowds. #autism /8
