What
is autism?
Autism
Autism is a Neurotype and part of the range of natural variation in human neurological development.
Human beings have a diverse range of Neurotypes — “Neuro” meaning brain. This diversity in human Neurotype is what we call “Neurodiversity”.
​
Neurodiversity (“Brain Diversity”) includes other diagnoses such as Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder (ADHD), Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Down Syndrome etc. and is a part of nature’s normal biodiversity. This biodiversity ensures all species have healthy ecosystems to thrive in. Autism is a Neuro (“brain”) developmental (“process of developing”) difference and may therefore be on a different developmental timeline.
​
Autistics may require a variety of supports in different areas at different times in their life across their lifespan.
At the Chinook Autism Society, we are proud allies of the neurodiverse community.
