A Day in the Life of a Child With Autism
A video made by autistic people that looks into one child's life, paired with an autism-friendly screening activity.
Here’s a great autism-friendly screening activity for all kids. First, watch “Benny’s Story” together. Then explain, “This video was made by autistic people. They are like Benny, because he is autistic, too. There are things that Benny wants everyone to know about him. He talks about what he likes to do and what he doesn’t like to do.” Afterward, ask: “What did Benny want you to know about himself? What do you want others to know about you?”
