Autism Spectrum
Autism Spectrum is a brain difference that changes how a person senses, thinks, and connects with others.
Think of it this way
Each kitchen has the same tools: pots, pans, and a stove. But each cook uses them in their own way. One cook tastes every spice with great care. Another skips some and adds more salt. The meals all come out whole, just by different paths.
Explaining autism spectrum by grade level
Every brain works in its own way. Some people hear sounds like music much more than others do. A song that feels nice to you might feel too loud for someone else. That is one way the autism spectrum shows up.
