Autism and identity

Autism, framed through a neurodiversity lens, is a different neurological wiring that shapes sensory processing, social communication, and how someone experiences the world—not a defect requiring cure but a fundamental aspect of how some people think and perceive. Autism identity affirms both real challenges in a neurotypical world and genuine strengths in pattern recognition, focus, and alternative forms of connection.
