What autism is?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and experiences the world around them. It is not an illness or disease but a lifelong difference in how people process information and relate to others. Autism can present with a range of strengths and challenges, and no two autistic people are exactly alike. In Australia, autism is formally recognised as a disability under the NDIS, which means supports may be available to eligible individuals and families. Early intervention and understanding can significantly improve outcomes and independence.
