Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people communicate, interact with others, and perceive the world around them.
You may have heard the phrase “spectrum” when it comes to autism, and that’s because it’s a broad term that encompasses a wide range of abilities and challenges. Some individuals with autism may have difficulty with social interactions and communication, while others may struggle with sensory processing or repetitive behaviours. No two individuals with autism are exactly alike, and each person experiences the condition in their own unique way.|
