What is Autism?

 Autism is a developmental disability.
 This means they experience the world
  differently than you do.
    › They may play differently, communicate
      differently and even have different interests.
    › But that’s OK!! Because our friend with
      autism still does many things just like you:
      sleep, eat, go to the doctor, go to school,
      etc.
    › Autism is NOT like a cold- it does not just go
      away.
