“Autism is not a disease. Don’t try to cure us. Try to understand us.” – Brian R. King
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. It is estimated that 1 in 36 children in the United States are diagnosed with autism, making it one of the most prevalent developmental disorders. Although there is still much to learn about autism, we can gain insight and inspiration from the words of those who have experienced it firsthand.
