Understanding the uniqueness of ASD

asd

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means something about brain development and function is different from that of a “typical” person. ASD affects how a person interacts with the world, making it difficult for them to communicate with or understand other people. Having ASD may result in difficulties with socializing, communicating and behavior.

Whether you’re living with autism, parenting a child with autism, or both, separating fact from fiction can make a world of difference in your experience. It’s important to keep in mind that every child/person on the spectrum is unique and people with autism do not all think or act exactly the same.
