What does autism mean?

Autism means a different way of thinking, processing, and interacting with the world. It is a natural variation in human neurodiversity. For some, autism can come with unique strengths such as attention to detail, strong memory skills, or creative thinking. However, it can also involve challenges in areas like social interaction, sensory processing, or communication. In Australia, autism is a formally recognised disability, and early diagnosis can lead to funded therapy and supports through the NDIS.
