We recognise that the world is not inherently 'autism-friendly.' However, in recent years, significant strides have been made in raising awareness across schools, public spaces, workplaces, and among health professionals. At Aspect, we believe that by addressing one person at a time, we can continue to enhance understanding of all autistic presentations and challenge the stigma surrounding what we think we already know.

What is Autism?
The term "Autism" encompasses various conditions, including Asperger's, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). The word "spectrum" reflects the wide range of challenges individuals on the autism spectrum may face and the varying degrees to which they are affected. While some individuals can lead relatively independent lives, others may experience additional learning difficulties and require ongoing specialist support.
Key challenges are typically centered around social communication and interaction, often accompanied by restricted or repetitive behaviors and interests.
