At John’s Crazy Socks, more than half our colleagues have a differing ability and many of them have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We love our colleagues and are fortunate that they work with us. They do great work and play a key role in helping us fulfill our mission to spread happiness.

We grow frustrated when we hear people make false assumptions or repeat false information about people with autism. In this article, we want to bust up eight falsehoods or misunderstandings about Autism.
