Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a life-long condition that impacts the brain. It is a diverse group of conditions that is experienced differently by each person. The neurodiversity viewpoint is to reduce stigma which includes autism as well as other neurological conditions. Every autistic or neurodivergent individual is unique as is their journey.
