Autism affects millions of people worldwide, yet misconceptions still create barriers to acceptance. At Justice for Autism, we believe knowledge is the first step toward compassion.
-
Myth 1: Autism has one “look.”
Autism is a spectrum, and each individual experiences it differently. Some may need daily support, while others live independently and thrive in their careers. -
Myth 2: Autism is caused by bad parenting.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition — it is not caused by parenting styles. Families need support, not blame. -
Myth 3: People with autism don’t want relationships.
Many individuals with autism deeply value connections and friendships, though they may communicate in unique ways.
