Someone asked how they can explain autism to their nonautistic kid... here's my answer. 

Autism is a brain wiring difference.

It has to do with the way a person understands and reacts to the world around them, which is different from what most people are used to or expect.

Sometimes you can't see it, but sometimes you can. And when you can, every autistic person's autism looks different. 

Never assume anything about a person because you know they're autistic. Your assumptions will probably be wrong.

If you see an autistic person behaving in ways you're not used to or expecting, ask questions to understand why instead of judging them. And if you think they need help, do whatever you can to help them. 

Lead with your heart. Always.  ❤️
