Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect a person's ability to communicate, interact socially, and process sensory information. Precisely yesterday, April 2, World Autism Awareness Day was celebrated, essential to remember the need for understanding and support for all these people.

It is really essential that autism is talked about and aware of it, as it is estimated that one in 160 people worldwide suffer from it . Despite this, there are still many social myths and stereotypes about autism that can directly lead to discrimination and social exclusion of these people.

It should be noted that each individual has unique abilities and strengths and may need support and special tools to face the difficulties that arise in their day to day. Although autism is not a curable disease, with the right support, these people can lead full and meaningful lives without any problems . In fact, each case is unique and most can live normally with the right tools to face their challenges.

In the fight to improve the lives of people with autism, it is necessary to increase the visibility and understanding of this condition. This includes public education about autism and the promotion of policies and practices that encourage inclusion and equal opportunity. It is also essential that they have access to services and resources that help them improve their social and communication skills , as well as develop their independence and self-esteem. Once again we must work together to create a much more inclusive and compassionate world for all.
