What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact, and experience the world. It is a spectrum, meaning it varies widely in its presentation, from mild to significant challenges in social skills, communication, and behaviour.
Why Awareness Matters
Raising awareness about autism fosters understanding, inclusion, and support for individuals on the spectrum. By learning about autism, we can create environments that celebrate neurodiversity and empower those with ASD to thrive.
