What is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that influences how a person communicates, interacts with others, learns, and experiences the world around them. Because autism exists on a spectrum, every individual has unique strengths, challenges, and support needs.

Autism is not an illness to be cured; it is a different way of experiencing and responding to the world. Early understanding and individualized support can help children develop and build confidence as they grow.
