In this webcast, we examined the concept of limitless potential in autism. How we define potential in autism is a process of understanding and determining what achievement and fulfillment mean for individuals on the autism spectrum. This encompasses identifying and celebrating their unique strengths, accomplishments, and personal growth, as well as fostering an environment that supports their individual journey toward a fulfilling life.
