HOW DOES AUTISM MANIFEST?

According to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), autism is a condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, interacts with others, and experiences their environment. It is estimated that 1 in 70 people are on the autism spectrum. Autism is a lifelong condition and every autistic person is different to every other. Many of the disabling challenges associated with autism come about when individuals don’t have the respect, understanding and supports that allow them to be comfortable in a non-autistic world.
