Autism is considered a neurodevelopmental condition, not a disease. Some autistic individuals require significant support, while others are highly independent.
Key Points:
- Some autistic people see it as a disability due to challenges in communication and daily life.
- Others see it as a difference rather than a disability.
- The level of support needed varies from person to person.
✅ What to do: Focus on accommodating rather than “fixing” your child’s autism.
