Many people falsely believe that all people that live with autism spectrum disorders have some amazing abilities. Many identify autistic people with the main character from the film Rain Man. However, autism does not only mean that someone finds it hard to make eye contact or is a bit of an introvert. Autism shows differences in social interactions like the use of eye contact, the regulation of social contacts, contemporary relations and mutually sharing experiences. Some autistic people have a hard time understanding the unwritten rules of society, find it difficult to read gestures and mimicry, and they often fail to understand metaphors and idioms. Autism can be very severe or it can be more moderate. People with sever forms of autism may need full care throughout their lives.

Our goal is to create a much more liveable world for children with autism spectrum disorders and for their parents.
