Autism is a developmental disorder that affects 1 out of 54 people. Autism symptoms range from social difficulty to behavioral issues to extreme sensitivity. However, people with autism should not be disregarded because of their differences. Many people with autism are exceptional and showcase many personal strengths that are unique to them.

There is a lot of negative stigma attached to autism; however, people with autism have a lot to offer – love, empathy, kindness, and joy. I, for one, know first-hand how amazing a person with autism really is. Just because some of are not social does not mean that they don’t want a friend or a show of affection!

There are a lot of websites and research papers on autism. There are also a lot of organizations that are raising awareness for autism, so definitely go check those out and consider donating or volunteering!
