Autism Awareness

What is Autism?

Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a condition that can lead to social, learning, and behavioral problems in day to day life. 

Autism does not change how a person looks but it can change how a person interacts, learns, and communicates with their surrounding world. 

Common signs of autism include avoiding contact, repeating behaviors such as rocking back and forth, and lack of a social smile. A diagnosis of Autism is something that only a professional can do and it often involves multiple factors that lead to a diagnosis; there is not one thing that can cause Autism.
