Seventy million people - 1 percent of the world’s population - have some form of autism, a neurologic disorder that affects their ability to
interact with other people and to care for themselves. Although
treatment is available in developed nations, advocates say the outlook
for those with severe autism is poor, and many spend their lives in
sheltered environments. Those with milder forms of the disorder,
however, can have more success integrating into society.
26-year-old Kevin Gibson is one of those success stories. He loves
living in his own apartment. “It’s a great feeling, to like, be able to
live on your own,” he said.
