Facts Vs Fiction: Breaking 5 Myths About Autism
Imagine you’re lost in a foreign country. All you have on you is a guide book, but it’s written in a language you don’t understand. You try to ask people for directions, but most people don’t understand what you want. The ones who do tell you to refer to the guidebook, because everything you need to know is in there. It sounds pretty scary and frustrating, right? This is similar to how people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience the world every day. ASD is a spectrum of cognitive disorders related to brain development that starts in childhood and affects how a person perceives and understands the world around them.

So let’s take a minute to clear the air, and bust five myths surrounding ASD — from Savant Syndrome to Stem Cell Therapy for Autism.
