Myth or fact? Autism is a mental illness. It's a myth! Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is a developmental disorder stemming from changes in the brain before the child is born; it is not a mental condition that develops after birth. ASD consists of impairment in social interactions, problems in communications and display of repetitive behaviors. Sensory abnormalities often occur as well. Since autism is a spectrum disorder, each person’s symptoms differ in presentation and severity. Some may have intellectual disabilities and limited speech while others are high functioning, speaking fluidly, going to college and working. Most, but not all, individuals with ASD may have a co-occurring mental illness (depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, etc.).
