Autism Can Be Invisible | Is Autism an Invisible Disability?

Autism is often misunderstood because it is an invisible condition, with the internal processes of individuals with autism being hidden from observation. The invisibility of autism leads to challenges in diagnosis, especially for women who may not "look autistic," and for children who may be perceived as misbehaving rather than having a neurological condition. The philosophy of behaviorists in education focuses on observable and measurable aspects, neglecting the importance of understanding the invisible aspects of autism.
