Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing developmental disability\u00a0in the US, affecting over 3 million individuals & tens of millions worldwide.\u00a0As a \u201cspectrum disorder\u201d it has a range of symptoms and levels of severity.\u00a0It\u2019s characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication,\u00a0repetitive behaviors. sensory issues, motor coordination and physical issues.\u00a0Studies also suggest that individuals with ASD are more likely to be bullied and to\u00a0suffer from depression & anxiety. We want to change that by helping to promote\u00a0awareness, understanding and inclusion. Our good friend JT was diagnosed at age 3\u00a0with severe Autism symptoms. Today he\u2019s an active pre-teen who loves BMX.\u00a0Through that interest, he\u2019s met a group of supportive people and friends who share\u00a0the same passion. We want the same sense of community and belonging for every\u00a0person with Autism. We agree with JT that, \u201cPeople with Autism can do amazing\u00a0things.\u201dA rainbow infinity symbol represents the diversity of the autism spectrum\u00a0as well as the greater neurodiversity movement. We’ve chosen to use a white\u00a0symbol because white includes every color of the spectrum. The infinity\u00a0symbol stands for the endless ways this disorder can affect individuals<\/p>\n
