Autism Support
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental condition that appears in early childhood, affecting how a person perceives and socializes with others.
ASD is an umbrella term that covers conditions previously diagnosed separately, such as Asperger’s syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder, officially grouping them under one broader spectrum.
It is a condition that affects everyone in the family.

Support for family and friends, and the community
Having a caring, informed network of support doesn’t just feel good — it directly supports the child’s development, reduces family stress, and builds long-term resilience.
Here at PerformCare, we created this section to be an autism resource. Learn what it is, how to help your loved one, your family (and yourself), and where to get support.
