with Helen Kinsey

What’s it like to have Autism? How can we best relate to those living with this challenge? Autism spectrum disorder ranges from a very severe disability, clearly present in early childhood, to mild difficulty with social interactions that can often go unnoticed until adult hood. Helen will share her experience of working with children who have Autism and offer us some recent research into its possible causes and how it can best be approached.    

Helen is an anthroposophist. She was a Waldorf class teacher for a number of years. She is currently teaching in mainstream and has spent some time in a specialist autistic setting.
