Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD is a general diagnosis which covers many tendencies or behaviors within a person. Autism doesn’t have a clear or single cause and it manifests differently for each person, ranging from mild to severe. Studies have also indicated that some children grow to lose their diagnosis later in life, although the percentages vary. Because autism is so different from person to person, it’s incredibly beneficial to rid ourselves of a preconceived idea of what a person with ASD is or will be like.
