National Autism Awareness Month
Autism refers to a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association merged four previously distinct diagnoses into a singular, umbrella diagnosis of “autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” which include autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome. It’s estimated that 1 in 68 children has ASD individual personalities and needs. For more information, visit www.autismspeaks.org.
