Being “on the spectrum<\/a>” refers to having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)<\/a>, a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how an individual interacts with the world. The term “spectrum” highlights the wide range of abilities and challenges that individuals with autism may experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People on the spectrum<\/a> can have varying levels of support needs. Some may have intellectual disabilities and require lifelong support, while others may have average or above-average intelligence and live independently. Common traits include difficulty with social communication, sensory sensitivities, and repetitive behaviors, but how these traits manifest can differ greatly between individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
