About this listen

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that is caused by differences in one's brain. Children with autism will often have repetitive or restricted interests and behaviors, as well as troubles with social interaction and communication. Children who have autism also likely have different ways of paying attention and moving, as well as learning.

Not as informative as I’d hoped.

Well read and easy to understand, but it seemed like more of a basic introduction to autism. I don’t know that I learned much more than I’d already discovered in my own research.
Also, directed towards children who are more severely affected by it. My daughter is much more high functioning.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
