Autism is not an impediment and people with autism are able to live a normal and successful life, like anyone else. Whilst some people with autism may need further assistance, it doesn’t mean they have fewer chances of flourishing in their personal or professional lives. Addiction, however, is an illness, and it can cause significant harm to those affected. Fortunately, addiction can be overcome, and more and more people are beginning to live a high quality of life after attending rehab.
