🚨 Busting Myths About Autism 🚨
There are so many misconceptions about autism that can be harmful, misleading, and stigmatizing. That’s why it’s important to spread awareness and understanding—so that autistic individuals receive the support, respect, and acceptance they deserve. 💙
🧩 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects roughly 1 in 100 people and can be diagnosed in childhood or adulthood. Since no two autistic individuals are the same, autism exists on a spectrum—meaning everyone experiences it differently.
Some autistic individuals are non-verbal, while others are highly communicative. Some may struggle with sensory sensitivities, while others may not. Every autistic person is unique, and their needs should be recognized and supported.
