Autism, often called autism spectrum disorder, is a lifelong difference in how the brain develops and works. It affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world. Autism is a spectrum, which means it looks different for every person. Many autistic people live full, meaningful lives with the right understanding and support.
Signs often appear in early childhood. They can include differences in eye contact, delayed or unique speech, strong focus on certain interests, a need for routine, and sensitivity to sounds, lights, or textures. Some autistic people need a lot of daily support, while others need very little. Researchers believe autism comes mostly from genetic and developmental factors. It is not caused by parenting styles or by vaccines, a point that has been studied carefully and clearly.
