Introduction

My independent study topic is Autism. I chose this topic because a lot of people have Autism and they don't know it, so I want to help them find out if they have Autism. The following questions guided my research on Autism.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I have learned that Autism doesn't only affect the brain, but it also affects the rest of the body, and that it comes in different forms, too. I've also learned that it has effects I didn't know about before I started researching my project! I now know how Autism affects the whole body. This project is also very personal to me because I have Autism, and I wanted to know more about is so I could get to know me better.
