The second of April is World Autism Awareness Day. However, for a lot of people who don’t have any direct experience with autism, there may be a few gaps in our knowledge.
Some of what we think we know about it may come from media sources – films like Rain Man or novels like A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time – or any other third-party sources we might have encountered. And while they might be effective representations of autism, they can hardly tell the full story.
In fact, Stephen Shore, an autistic professor at the Adelphi University in New York, said, “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism” – meaning that in the same way no two people anywhere are exactly alike, the same can be said for those on the autism spectrum.
