Last week was Autism Awareness Week. On Monday, we met Ms Levin Kahn and she told us lots of interesting things about autism and how it affects the people who have it. Ms Levin-Kahn also explained how, by working to understand people with autism better, we can practise some important Jewish values like “Love your fellow person like yourself” and “Give every person the benefit of the doubt”. We played some games that helped us understand how people with autism might feel in different situations and linked this to Habit 5: Seek First to Understand.  By Year 5 students
