Autism is a diagnosis with many facets and many faces. The epidemic rise in numbers in the last two decades has created a thousand fragments of information about autism. Fragments created by parents, teachers, scientists, researchers, pediatricians, and many others working towards understanding, supporting and helping. Tools are being built, therapies are being devised, forums are being developed, and stories are being shared.
Autism in Brief synthesizes these fragments in an informational and entertaining way to build resources and challenge the way we all think about ''dis-abilities''.
