Explaining Coronavirus The coronavirus outbreak is having an impact on everybody’s life. Social distancing means that most events are cancelled, schools are closed, and people must work from home when they can. This is hard for everyone, but we know that for some autistic people of all ages these things could trigger intense stress and lead to a meltdown or a shut down. Therefore, we have collected a series of useful resources that autistic people and their families can use during this time of changes.
