Autism is a spectrum of disorders that affect how a person behaves, communicates, learns, and experiences the world. Some people with autism are able to join into society without it being known that they have autism. Others may have more obvious difficulties such as speaking. People with autism may talk about being neurodiverse, describing the fact that every brain is unique and we should accommodate people where they are and help them succeed. Today is a day to bring awareness to the challenges people with autism face and to those who have and continue to succeed.
