Austism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. ASD affects individuals differently, ranging from mild to severe, and it often becomes apparent in early childhood. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential in managing and supporting individuals with autism.
While symptoms vary, common indicators of ASD include:
Social Challenges: Difficulty understanding social cues, making eye contact, and forming relationships.
Communication Difficulties: Delayed speech development, limited vocabulary, or non-verbal communication.
Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repetitive actions or routines, such as hand-flapping or lining up objects.
Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-reactivity to sensory input like sounds, textures, or lights.
Special Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or activities.
