What is Autism?
1
Navigating Autism
Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a lifelong neurological condition that affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. While each person's experience with autism is distinct, common traits may include differences in communication, social interaction, and behavior patterns. It's important to remember that autism is not a single identity but a spectrum, showcasing the beautiful diversity of human experience.

Embracing Neurodiversity
At Arc Light BHC, we firmly believe in embracing neurodiversity – the recognition that neurological differences, including autism, are a natural and valuable part of the human experience. Rather than focusing on "fixing" individuals, we aim to create an inclusive and accepting environment that celebrates the strengths and abilities of every individual, regardless of their place on the autism spectrum.
