World Autism Day
Autism Canada defines autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, and speech and nonverbal communication.
Here are three facts about autism:
● Autism occurs in all racial, ethnic and socio-economic groups.
● Autism develops from a combination of genetic and nongenetic, or environmental, influences.
● 1 in 66 children is diagnosed with autism.
