AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) is a bio-neurological difference in which the brain is wired differently in autistic adults. People on the spectrum have variations in processing of data in the brain which is stronger in some areas and weaker in some areas than Neurotypical persons.
They neither are better nor worse but simply different. They experience the world differently. Men are four times more prone to autism than women. But women are more severely affected if on a spectrum.
Sign and symptoms usually occur within three years and parents often overlook these signs relating it with slow growth or developmental delay.
