Autism is a lifelong developmental disability
that manifests itself during the first three years of life. The rate of
autism in all regions of the world is high and it has a tremendous
impact on children, their families, communities and societies. We have made great strides in our understanding of the autism spectrum,
and today, children and adults with ASDs are leading independent and
productive lives. However, barriers still remain for these individuals
and their families. As a Nation, we share a responsibility to ensure
persons living with ASDs have the opportunity to pursue their full
measure of happiness and achieve their greatest potential.
