Abstract:
The struggles faced by individuals and families affected by autism can vary tremendously. This, in turn, means that each family's reality is quite different. The extreme differences in the experiences faced can lead to different needs and different perceptions of autism. In this essay, a physician shares her experiences as a pediatric physician and a mother of a child with autism, and describes a dichotomy of experiences noted within the autism community. As medical professionals, we must understand the differences in perceptions and experiences to properly care for patients with autism and their families.Abstract also available in عربي (Arabic); Deutsch (German); Español (Spanish); Francais (French); हिन्दी (Hindi); Indonesia (Indonesian); (Chinese); (Japanese); Portugues (Portuguese).
