Furthermore, it's vital to remember that autism is a spectrum, and individuals experience it in diverse ways. Labeling someone as "having autism" can oversimplify their lived experience and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
Instead of focusing on who "has" autism, we should celebrate the many talented and accomplished individuals who contribute to society, regardless of their neurodiversity.
If you are interested in learning more about autism and its impact on individuals, I recommend researching reputable sources such as:
* Autism Speaks: https://www.autismspeaks.org/
* The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN): https://autisticadvocacy.org/
* The National Autistic Society (NAS): https://www.autism.org.uk/
* The American Psychological Association: https://www.apa.org/topics/autism
These organizations offer valuable information and resources to help understand autism better.
