Autistic community

The autistic community refers to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their advocates, who share experiences and support one another. Autism is a developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. The community promotes understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity, emphasizing that autism is a different way of experiencing the world rather than a disorder to be "cured." Members often work together to raise awareness, educate others, and influence policies to improve the lives of autistic individuals. They value self-advocacy and strive for inclusion and respect in society.
