Support for adults with autism
In a series of short films, actors portray ‘real world’ situations to highlight subtle social interactions.
Autistic adults may have different behaviours or perspectives in the workplace or in social situations which may lead them into compromised situations. Some might be excluded from social and job opportunities, taken advantage of financially or by criminals.
With this in mind, Flinders University and other experts have developed a new screening system to give autism researchers and clinicians working with autistic adults fresh insights into ‘perspective taking’ difficulties.
A tool to give an initial assessment of the Theory of Mind in Autistic Adults (A-ToM-Q) has been evaluated by experts in the field from Australia and the United Kingdom.
