Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), colloquially referred to as 'autism', is not a single condition but a spectrum of complex brain development disorders.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a unique neurodevelopmental condition that presents with diverse characteristics and strengths, including in the areas of communication, social interaction, and behavior.

Social skills are an important aspect of daily life and can impact an individual's ability to form and maintain relationships, communicate effectively, and navigate various social situations.

Autism support groups — they may sound like just another commitment to add to your child’s already-busy schedule, but they’re actually filled with benefits you don’t want to miss.

When it comes to finding the perfect autism support group for your child, one of the first steps is deciding whether you want the meetings to take place in-person or online.

Social skills are a big topic in the autism community today, but should we be actively seeking out opportunities to support our children in this area?
