How to Find the Best Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Resources in Canada
Autism spectrum disorder ASD is often defined as a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, and activities. Rather than viewing autism as a disease requiring a cure, many Canadian clinicians, researchers, and autistic self-advocates understand it as a form of natural human development variation. This neurodiversity perspective, which has gained significant traction in Canadian healthcare and education settings, emphasizes that autistic people experience the world differently—not deficiently.
