Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Autism is a spectrum - this means everybody with autism is different.

Nobody knows what causes autism, or if it has a cause.

Symptoms include:

• hard to communicate and interact with other people
• hard to understand how other people think or feel
• find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable
• have anxiety or become upset about unfamiliar situations and social events
• take longer to understand information
• do or think the same things over and over
