Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

What Does the Spectrum Mean?

Autism is referred to as a “spectrum” because it encompasses a wide range of characteristics and behaviors that vary from person to person.

No two individuals with autism are alike; some may have exceptional abilities in certain areas, while others may struggle with everyday tasks.

Understanding that autism affects each individual differently is key to offering the right support and care.

  • Some individuals may be non-verbal but highly intelligent, while others may communicate verbally but have difficulty interpreting social cues.
  • The spectrum can range from mild to severe, and individuals may require different levels of assistance throughout their lives.
