The Dig on Autism Spectrum Disorder

Special Guest Amber Rose Washington joins DoA to discuss Autism as part of our honoring Autism Acceptance Month during April. We discuss the history of Autism and Dutch gives some anecdotal experiences as the father of a non-verbal autistic. 

According to Oxford, autism is a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior.

According to the U.S Department of Labor, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered a neurological developmental disability, with the symptoms being measured on a spectrum from subtle and mild symptoms to severe cognitive and developmental delays.

Lastly, according to the American Psychiatric Assn, Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition involving persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior.
