What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world. It is characterized by differences in communication, social interactions, and behaviors. Autism exists on a spectrum, meaning that each individual experiences it uniquely, with varying strengths and challenges.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a lifelong condition that typically appears in early childhood. It affects brain development and how individuals process information, leading to unique ways of thinking, learning, and interacting. While some people with autism may require significant support, others may lead independent lives with minimal assistance.
