In this post I will give a very brief overview of what autism is.
Autism is a life long developmental disorder (neurobiological) which affects communication, and social interaction. Each individual with autism is unique and has their own set of strengths and challenges. Autism cannot be cured and interventions target behavioural, language, cognitive, social and sensory concerns (Atchison & Dirette, 2007).
