Autism, the Positive Way
Historically, autism has been misrepresented with negative and hurtful stereotypes that distort its true nature and potential. These misconceptions have clouded the strengths and abilities of autistic kids, ones we are devoted to unlocking and bringing to fruition.
We see autism as a condition, not a defining trait, and believe every individual has unique value and the potential to make a positive impact. We view it as beautiful and joyful.
We stand with you in the journey of autism.

The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. The term "spectrum" in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity.
