WHAT IS AUTISM?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is called a "spectrum" disorder because it affects each person differently and to varying degrees. Some common characteristics of autism include:
-
Difficulty with communication and interaction with others
-
Restricted interests and repetitive behaviours
-
Challenges in understanding social cues and forming relationships
-
Sensory sensitivities
The exact cause of autism is not known, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for helping children with autism reach their full potential.
How is Autism Detected?
Autism can be detected through a combination of behavioural observations and developmental screenings. Some common signs that may indicate the need for further evaluation include:
Delayed speech and language skills
Repetitive behaviours, such as hand-flapping or rocking
Difficulty adjusting to changes in routine
Limited eye contact or lack of social smiling
Intense interest in specific topics or objects
If you suspect that your child may have autism, it is important to seek a professional evaluation. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a significant difference in the development and quality of life for children with autism.
