Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a broad range of conditions that can affect a child or person to struggle with communication, social skills, behavior and self regulation and their emotions. Many people are unaware of this spectrum, not everyone with Autism has the same struggles and there is no physical indication other than those involving behavior. There are differing levels of severity with ASD. It is a life long condition with no "cure," only opportunities to change behavior or improve social skills and communication. Children with Autism tend to struggle with academics and other social events. Without awareness, these children often struggle much harder in school and are subject to bullying and cannot receive the help that they need.
