Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior.

Common characteristics:

  • Differences in social communication

  • Repetitive behaviors or strong routines

  • Focused or intense interests

  • Sensory sensitivities

Autism is a spectrum. It is not a disease to be cured, but a different way of experiencing the world. Support focuses on strengths and individualized needs.
