Autism Infographic

Autism is characterized in many different ways and every individual presents differently.

  • Autism "Profiles"
  • are not permanent; growth and development occur even through adulthood!

  • Autism Does Not
  • affect a person's ability to feel emotions but rather the way in which it may be expressed.

  • Community Awareness & Acceptance
  • is key to bridging relationships with individuals and their families living with Autism and any other developmental differences.

  • Stimming (Repetitive Movements & Vocalizations)
  • are important coping mechanisms and should not be taken away or considered taboo - if anything help shape the stims to fit the environment or give time before stressful or intense situations to give someone some reprieve! Believe it or not, you likely are a stimmer too!
