Bright Lives has worked with many students that are Autistic, through which our staff have learnt many new skills in this area to really make the difference in the life of the individual. We have a well known case study that has regularly published his successes to our facebook page. His name is Tyler who over a three year period is now working independently in the evenings and weekends carrying out charity work for his own chosen charity "Help the Heroes" This is a massive success story. however, we have many other students that have this condition that are also enjoying a much greater awareness of their condition and some of the many strengths this can bring to their lives. We are proving that Autism does not have to be a disability but a difficulty that can be better understood and skills developed around it to live a full and enjoyable life.
