Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not a disease but
a developmental disorder characterized by a wide range of symptoms that affect
social interaction, communication, and behaviour. Symptoms vary greatly among
individuals but may include challenges in understanding and expressing
emotions, difficulty in forming and maintaining relationships, repetitive
behaviours, and intense focus on specific interests. Children with ASD may
exhibit delayed speech or language skills, avoidance of eye contact, and
resistance to change in routines. Sensory sensitivities, such as sensitivity to
light, sound, or touch, are also common. Some individuals with ASD may have intellectual
disabilities, while others may excel in areas such as math, music, or art.
Early recognition and intervention can help individuals with ASD learn
essential skills and improve their quality of life. Treatment often involves
behavioural therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and support services
tailored to individual needs.
