Autism Spectrum Disorders

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a group of developmental conditions that affect communication, behavior, and social interaction. The spectrum nature of these disorders means that individuals can experience a wide range of symptoms and challenges. Common characteristics include:

• Social Interaction Difficulties: Challenges in understanding social cues and forming relationships.
• Communication Barriers: Delays in speech and language development, or differences in verbal and non-verbal communication.
• Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repetitive movements, routines, or focused interests.
• Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-responsiveness to sensory stimuli, such as sounds, textures, or lights.
