The National Institute of Mental Health defines autism as "a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave". Even so, autism is labeled a spectrum disorder because its symptoms can manifest differently in each person.

This guide is intended to introduce the topic of autism spectrum disorder to community members at the University of Texas at Dallas and to inform them of available resources.
