Frequently Asked Questions
What is “the Spectrum”?
Being on “the spectrum” means that a person has been diagnosed with a form of autism. Every individual with autism is unique, with their own set of strengths and challenges. The symptoms of autism may range from mild to severe, which is why it is called a spectrum; since there are no set symptoms for a diagnosis.
