What is autism?

Autism is a unique way that some people’s brains are wired, making them neurodivergent, or different from most people.

This wiring leads to certain traits, like strong emotions, and sensitivity to the environment.

A happy family of three is enjoying a sunny day in the park. The mother sits on the grass with her legs crossed while holding her child close to her. Father sits to her side withan affectionate smile on his face. They both look at their child lovingly. In the background are tall trees providing shade from the sun's rays and lush green grass that stretches out for miles around them. This picture captures a moment of joy shared between this family as they spend quality time together outdoors in nature's beauty.
