What is Autism?
Understanding Your Experience
Autism is a lifelong neurological difference and disability that affects how individuals experience and engage with the world. While every autistic person is unique, a diagnosis reflects shared differences in thought, feeling, and communication compared to non-autistic people.
As an autistic person, you might find yourself reacting to and processing feelings differently from others. You may find social interactions confusing or exhausting, and you might easily become overwhelmed in environments that are loud or busy. Other common characteristics include having deep, intense interests, preferring predictability and routine, and using repetitive movements or actions for self-soothing or to express happiness.
The autistic brain processes information uniquely, influencing how individuals engage with and express themselves to the wider world. Receiving a diagnosis is often a long-awaited moment of affirmation, bringing a sense of validation for feeling different. Access to necessary support, increased clarity, a feeling of belonging, and peace of mind can result from this.
