Continue the learning journey with the following extension activity:
In SPREADING AUTISM AWARENESS, have students work individually or in small groups to create one-minute PSA-style TikToks or videos to help their classmates understand autism better. To keep the videos unique, encourage your students to focus on a single subtopic from the article, such as the basics of autism, facts vs. myths about autism, and/or masking. They can do additional research on their chosen subtopic, but remind them to use only trustworthy sources. For extra engagement, have your class view one another’s videos and hold a vote for the most creative and informational PSA.
