The Essence of Autism

An interesting blog post from PsychologyToday.com:

"Because autism can look so different, it sometimes confuses parents and professionals alike. It is not always clear which challenges should be focused on for a particular child: Do you prioritize working on toilet training or eye contact? Speech or attention span? Fine motor skills or academics?

No matter how sophisticated an autistic person may be, there is one fundamental aspect that caries through in all situations: a difficulty deeply interacting with other people on a consistent basis."
