A. Autism Spectrum Disorder

1. Introduction to the Lesson: Autism

We will just be touching on some fundamentals of gifted with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in this lesson.

Before we begin, we want to emphasize the importance of working with the specialists in your district or building. You cannot become an expert in giftedness nor ASD in a short course! Our purpose is to provide a common definition, understanding of characteristics, and some strategies and resources for the population of students who are identified as gifted with ASD.
