What Autism Is — And Isn’t
A loving primer that clears up common myths.
Autism is a different way of being human — not a sickness, not a punishment, not caused by parenting.
Autistic children often:
- Notice details the rest of us miss.
- Find comfort in routines and special interests.
- Feel sounds, lights, and textures more strongly than other children.
What helps most: predictable routines, gentle language, and being believed.
