Autism falls under the umbrella of neurodiversity. Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, meaning it reflects a unique way the brain develops and processes the world, sometimes on a different timeline. Autistics may need varying levels of support in different areas throughout their lives, highlighting the importance of understanding and accommodating the unique needs of each individual.

At ASNL we are proud allies of the neurodiverse community. We are very thankful to our community for their guidance on the revision of this definition, especially Bree Lynn Rossiter and K. Snow.
