About Autism Spectrum Disorder

People with ASD may behave, communicate, interact, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. There is often nothing about how they look that sets them apart from other people.  The abilities of people with ASD can vary significantly. For more information, visit the CDC Autism Spectrum Disorder webpage.
