Justyna’s Corner – Autism -The People Behind The Disorder

Our very own, Margaret Guzowski, was interviewed by Justyna Zmurko for Polish Radio Blog: KSM 530 AM Justyna's Corner.

Here's an excerpt from the interview: 

        "Justyna Zmurko: Simply put, autism is?
Margaret Guzowski : It is a syndrome where the processing of the brain is different than for a typical person. Their cognitive functions are different than a typical person’s.  Social skills are often impaired in autistic individuals.  They don’t experience the same input from the outside world.  People on the Autism Spectrum may have very acute experiences of external stimuli.  For example, they may be very sensitive to sound and to touch. They see the world differently than you and I. As a result, they often engage in stereotypical repetitive behaviours."
