Acerca de esta escucha

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most discussed yet misunderstood conditions in the world today. It's a neurodevelopmental difference that affects how people experience the world—how they communicate, interact socially, and express behaviors, interests, or routines. And while science has advanced, voices have risen, and advocacy has grown, a cloud of misconceptions still lingers over what autism actually is—and what it isn’t.

For decades, autism was defined largely by stereotypes and assumptions. Media portrayals often focused on extremes—either a child who couldn't speak or a mathematical genius with little emotional expression. Schools, workplaces, and even medical professionals at times operated from outdated models of understanding. The result? Stigma. Misdiagnosis. And a troubling lack of support for countless autistic individuals.

But autism is not a tragedy. It’s not a puzzle to be solved. It’s not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It’s a spectrum—diverse, complex, and deeply human.

Today, we are fortunate to live in a time when awareness of autism is growing. Self-advocates are speaking out. Families are better informed. Educators and clinicians are evolving. Yet, with this progress comes the responsibility to challenge the myths that still shape how society views autism—and the people who live with it every day.

That’s the purpose of this book.

Why Myths Matter

Some might argue that myths are harmless. That generalizations and assumptions about autism are natural, especially for people who haven't had much exposure to it.
