 ome to the second discussion of the general introduction study series: Aut
 ism!\n\n"Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with problems 
 with social communication and/or interaction\, and occurrences of restrict
 ed or repetitive patterns of behaviour\, interests\, or activities. Autism
  was previously distinguished from Asperger’s syndrome\, but the latest 
 version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) instead uses a br
 oader ‘umbrella’ category of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The condi
 tion affects approximately 1 in every 100 children. It is not fully known 
 what causes autism but it is thought to include a mixture of environmental
  and genetic factors."\n\n• External resource\n\nIn this meetup\, we wil
 l be discussing two lectures *(*links below to be listened to prior to mee
 tup)* where experts detail some highlights to understanding\, recognizing 
 and supporting Autism and Autists.\n\nThe first hour of the discussion wil
 l focus on what we each gathered from the podcasts and how they apply to o
 ur living experience. The second hour - we will open up the discussion int
