Autism Speaks President and CEO Angela Geiger was on WFIN to talk about the misconceptions about autism. She said that a recent study showed there was one very concerning misconception that people have.
She added that there is also a lack of understanding of how people with autism handle driving, relationships, and humor. Because of this Autism Speaks has started a campaign to raise awareness.
Geiger said that you can take a quiz on their website to see how much you know about autism. Then you can find testimonials and studies with the truth.
