April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the unique strengths and abilities of individuals on the autism spectrum while raising awareness about autism. To honor this important month, we’d like to shine a spotlight on some well-known individuals who have shared their personal journeys with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger’s, once considered a distinct condition, is now part of the broader category of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). People with Asperger’s often have no delays in language development but may struggle with non-verbal cues, idioms, or sarcasm. In celebration of this month, we highlight inspiring individuals—entrepreneurs, activists, musicians, and performers—who have embraced their place on the spectrum and made a lasting impact.
