The Broader Autism Phenotype: Subtle Traits and Their Impact on Everyday Life

This session explores how understanding the Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP) can help support diverse learning and communication styles. BAP includes common traits such as valuing structure, noticing detail, or communicating very directly, often seen in people without an autism diagnosis. Through accessible science and real life examples, the session shows how these differences shape learning, interaction, and engagement. Attendees will gain practical insights into creating more inclusive, supportive environments that recognise and respond to varied ways of thinking and learning.
