What is autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person perceives and interacts with the world. It’s characterized by a combination of challenges in social communication, repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. People with autism may experience difficulty with things like making eye contact, understanding social cues, or holding conversations. They may also have strong fixations on specific topics or engage in repetitive behaviors like lining up objects or following strict routines.
It’s important to remember that autism is a spectrum, meaning the severity and specific challenges can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals with autism may be nonverbal and require significant support, while others may live relatively independent lives but struggle with social interactions.
