Understanding the Uniqueness of Autism

It's vital to, first and foremost, reframe how autism is typically understood and described. Although there is no cure, many people directly affected by the condition are using the term recovered. Autism is a neurological developmental disorder, which means the development of neural connections is disorganized and may not have developed appropriately. The good news is that neurons have plasticity, so the brain can reorganize by making new connections and creating new neurons. This development is faster and more likely to happen during childhood. The resiliency of the brain is why intervention as early as possible is so necessary. Although early intervention is best, this regeneration can occur through an individual's life.
