Mrow meow.(WHAT IS AUTISM?

Autism, ASD, is a neurological disorder, more specifically, a range of conditions which may affect the way one learns, interacts and/or expresses themselves. Ok, whew. That’s a mouth full. In essence, it affects how one interacts with others. There’s no one type of Autism, either! Some people with Autism have difficulties learning, others may excel at it. Some people with Autism might be extremely extroverted, or they might not like speaking to others. Some people may wish to talk about it, while others may attempt to hide it. How they wish to express it is valid.

Autism is typically described as a spectrum. This is mostly right. This spectrum has to do with how their symptoms shine through, as one might say. On the higher functioning end, they might have some issues with social interactions and sensory issues slightly worse than what one without this disorder may have. On the other hand, they might need a lot of help with some activities that you and I might not. Like any disorder or scenario, it’s best to treat both sides, as it is everyone, with respect and patience!)

Mrow meow.(THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MONTH

April is Autism Awareness Month, which is a time to celebrate stories of Autism. A long time ago, many young children with Autism were isolated, due to a lack of research on it. Even today, it can take a really long time to diagnose! Researchers and specialists are actively looking into this disorder, and seeing how we can improve treatment to ensure that individuals with it have the best quality of life they can!)

Mrow meow.(CELEBRATING IT ON SCRATCH

We here on the Scratch Team encourage you to make a project about a famous person you know of who had it. Or, if you live with it, make it a project! Then, share it in <insert studio, or other.>. You could also make your own studio about it!)
