The old saying goes that if you meet one person with autism, you have met one person with autism. This alludes to the fact that people with autism have such a varying set of preferences, interests, strengths, and needs that no two are alike. As a result, the supports people need varies greatly with some not needing any supports and others requiring intensive, round-the-clock services. Regardless of the intensity of supports required, we should all be working towards a society where people with autism are able to access whatever they need without barriers.
