Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition. In the UK, it’s estimated that about 1 in every 100 people has ASD. However, many misconceptions surround this disorder, leading to stigmatization and misunderstanding. One common myth is that autistic people lack empathy. In reality, while they might express empathy differently, they are as capable of empathetic feelings as anyone else.
Another misconception is that autism is strictly a male domain. Again, this is not accurate. While more males are diagnosed than females, this could be due to diagnostic biases or under-recognition of the condition in females.
