ASD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person’s communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it affects people in different ways and to varying degrees.
• Communication challenges: Difficulty with verbal and nonverbal communication, such as using language, understanding what others are saying, or expressing emotions.
• Social challenges: Difficulties in interacting with others, forming friendships, or understanding social cues.
• Repetitive behaviors: Engaging in repetitive behaviors or routines, such as rocking, flapping hands, or lining up objects.
• Restricted interests: Having narrow or intense interests in specific topics or activities.
• Sensory sensitivities: Being overly sensitive or less sensitive to sensory input, such as sounds, touch, or light.
It’s important to note that autism is a diverse condition, and individuals with ASD can exhibit a wide range of symptoms. Some people with autism may have significant challenges, while others may lead relatively independent lives.
