Hello, In today's meeting <https://www.w3.org/2020/06/25-coga-minutes.html>we discussed the following definition for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by some degree of impaired social behavior, communication and language abilities. This may also impact the person’s ability to regulate behavior and attention. Individuals can have a narrow range of interests and activities and they may rely on alternative communication methods. Some individuals may also experience episodes of sensory overload. We also discussed adding a note at the top of the glossary that states: See neurodiversity for an alternative approach to ASD, Dyslexia, and other cognitive disabilities. We would then add an asterisk (with associated aria-label) at the end of each definition that should reference this note. Please reply with a +1 this if you are OK with this approach or write back to the list with proposed changes. Thank you!
