A new campaign inspired by the vast and diverse autism community, featuring stories of people with autism across the spectrum and throughout the life span, has received a boost from the city of San Francisco with a huge portrait of the most prominent young autism sufferer, Greta Thunberg.
Frightening to many, autism is a developmental disorder that appears in early childhood. Some of its many symptoms include rigid and repetitive behavior, narrow range of interests and activities, impaired communication skills, difficulty making eye contact, and difficulty with change and transitions.
Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of diagnosed cases of autism around the world. Experts do not know if this is because the disorder is actually on the rise, or if doctors are simply diagnosing it more effectively.
Activists like Greta Thunberg provide great help to researchers, not only as a subject for observation, but also as a tool for raising awareness and money for their research into autism's origins, prevalence, and treatment.
Various scientific communities are also investigating autism-friendly ways of international travel for the sufferers like Greta Thunberg, who have the fear of airplanes, with proposals ranging from solar-powered human cannons to wind-propelled submarines and organic kitesurfing.
