"If you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism." - Dr. Stephen Shore.

Autism exists in all cultures, ethnicities, races, gender identities, and socioeconomic statuses. It is a type of neurodiversity which means their brain may process information differently than neurotypical people. It affects how a person communicates, which may include speaking, using pictures, or using technology to interact with others. Every autistic person is unique and many experience differences in how they process sensations like sound, taste, light, touch, pain, smell and more.
