Abstract

Autism spectrum conditions are lifelong neurodevelopmental conditions that are characterized by often striking difficulties in social communication and repetitive and rigid patterns of behavior (American Psychiatric Association APA 2000). Current estimates indicate that 1 in every 100 children is on the autism spectrum, meaning that all schools and colleges are likely to include pupils who lie somewhere on the autism spectrum.
