What is Autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD may behave, communicate, interact, and learn in ways that are different from most other people.

For example, some people with ASD may have extremely advanced conversations and others might be nonverbal. The symptoms and severity can vary widely, which can make treatment and diagnosis difficult. 

Increased understanding can help people diagnosed with Autism reach their full potential. This is why it is so important to spread awareness, inclusion and acceptance!

Each month, Logical Media group donates to an important cause that impacts the world around us. This April, we’re donating to Autism Speaks, which helps improve the transition to adulthood, supports life-enhancing research, increases childhood screening and timely interventions, enhances global understanding and acceptance, ensures access to reliable information, and so much more!
