As a pediatrician, I am reminded every day that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder each experience the world in their own unique and meaningful way. During Autism Awareness Month, we are called not only to raise awareness, but to foster acceptance, understanding, and early support for children and their families. Early identification and intervention can make a profound difference, but just as important is creating inclusive communities where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
