Can you explain what 'autism' is?
autism is when you can't always talk very well or understand people like their face
it is a disability and they find it difficult to understand and speak sometimes
it's a disability that people have and all of them find it hard with talking and understanding
problems with talking and understanding but they might like Pokemon just like me
autism is about differences in how we talk and how we might react to things like loudness
it's when people have special needs either like they can't talk sometimes or at all
basically it's a spectrum of disabilities and I might have it
people find it hard talking I think and sometimes need cards to help
autism means they have a disability that we can't always see, there's lots of sounds they might not like and sometimes they get frustrated if they are trying to talk to us but we don't get it
it's loads of different things that can make people's live a bit different from other people's lives
they can find it hard to talk and be around noises
they might find it hard to do what we're doing now like having a conversation
people can't communicate with their words sometimes
they find it difficult to hear some loud noises and might not be able to talk
it is a disability but not like in a wheelchair because you cannot always see it but more like finding it hard to do what we're doing. What is that? talking I guess and knowing what you're saying
struggling to talk and make friends and sometimes loud noises or smells or lights they don't like it
disability with talking and knowing what people mean, the video told me that they also can find bright lights distressing and I think that means upsetting
it means to me to be kind and respectful but I struggle with making friends sometimes
it's like a disability with communicating I guess
it's like another disability like being blind but not being blind, they can find it hard to play together because they find it hard to talk to others or know how to be friends
when someone people have a disability and they mainly struggle with communicating and being in like a group of people
people that have got a disability with like speaking to people but it's more maybe not being able to find the words so they can use cards but they are also kind
it's a disability so these children find it tricky to understand and do certain things in learning but also in groups of people so they might not understand what to do or what people are saying
it is a disability and some people find it hard to know what faces people are doing and talking to other people but they might like playing piano or doing normal things like that as it showed in the video
it's like when someone is disabled but not like with their body because their difficulty is making friends with other people because they find interacting and communicating hard but also they can find things around them hard to hear or see so that might distract them from what is happening
it's not bad it can actually help people to be smarter or have particular special skills but some things can be difficult and it's different in different people like some don't like loud noises or smells, some find it hard to talk but some find it easier to talk
so it's like a disability and it makes doing stuff harder sometimes than it usually would be like communicating and I know it's for life
it means people that need help with talking and understanding, they can hear maybe but they don't like loud noises sometimes

What other activities could you do to make friends with [Hayden/Hattie]?
talk about our feelings and how we could help others
go to the ice cream shop together, get pizza together
ask for money to buy an ice cream for her and me, when we're done go and play in the park
try to cheer him up if he was not feeling great
maybe I could play with the dolls more and found out more ways they could become friends
go to the cinema together to watch Matilda
I could invite him to play football with me
play with her and we could do arts and crafts together
