“Autistic people are individuals. We are not all math geniuses, we don’t all like trains. I am hopeless with technology and much prefer painting. There is no ‘typical Autistic.’ But I think we probably all like being respected and validated.” – Jeanette Purkis

What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

ASD and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. Appearing to have its roots in very early brain development, the most obvious signs of autism and symptoms of autism tend to emerge between 2 and 3 years of age.

According to the current autism rates that was released on April 2018 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 out of 59 American children have ASD. Studies also show that autism is 4 to 5 times more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States.
