What is Autism?

So what is Autism?

In episode 1, we cover the definition of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability and how it can impact an individual's daily life. Did you know that the prevalence rate of ASD in the United States is 1 in 54 children?!! That’s almost 2% of the US population of children! This episodes covers how as a community, we can promote for change in our education system, insurance and health care policies, and any other support systems in order to ensure that the autistic population has a fair chance in becoming successful independent members of our society. 

Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram page @whattheautism, where I’ll be posting some helpful resources and links on where you can find some of the most recent research studies conducted on autism.

We post new episodes every Wednesday morning at 8am (PST). Feel free to email us at whattheautismpodcast@gmail.com for any questions or recommendations for future episodes.
