Autism is a spectrum of conditions filled with other special needs as well that are endless in both adults and children. Symptoms vary between individuals, including what level of autism they fall under, for example, mild, moderate, and severe. It is a neurological and developmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact, behave, and learn. Autism can also show up in those who have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), dyslexia, and much more. Again, it goes back to how everyone is wired and how our brains learn and respond. It is a lifelong condition, however there are ways to heal and still become a beautiful person and do many great things in life, and they can accomplish anything by pushing their interests into strengths that could help parents bring out their children’s true identity (same for adults too). “Autism is a gift, not a curse, because without it you wouldn’t be the same person that you are today.” —Kate Hart.
