Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a person behaves, interacts, and communicates. It is referred to as a "spectrum" because it encompasses a wide range of symptoms, abilities, and challenges. Autism can be identified in early childhood, but some individuals may not receive a diagnosis until later in life.

Key characteristics of autism include difficulty with social interactions, such as challenges in understanding and responding to social cues, limited eye contact, and difficulty in forming relationships. Individuals with autism often engage in repetitive behaviors or routines, such as repetitive movements or strict adherence to specific rituals. Sensory sensitivities, like heightened sensitivity to light, sound, or touch, are also common.

While the causes of autism are not fully understood, it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Early intervention through therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral interventions can significantly improve communication and social skills.

ASD affects people in varying degrees; some individuals may need extensive support, while others can live independently. Today, there is a growing emphasis on inclusion, acceptance, and understanding of neurodiversity. More research is ongoing to improve early detection, treatments, and societal support systems for individuals with autism​.
