Autism affects a person's behavioral skills as well as their ability to communicate and interact socially.

According to the Autism Society, more than 60,000 North Carolina residents cope with the Autism Spectrum Disorder, which describes a group of developmental disabilities affecting a person's capacity to grasp what they see, hear and sense, such as classic autism, Asperger's syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS).

North Carolina's incidence of autism is higher than the national rate, with 1 in 58 people born with the disorder compared to 1 of 68 children across the country, according to the Autism Society of North Carolina.
