Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental
condition characterized by challenges in communication, behaviour, and social
interaction. Symptoms can include delayed speech, difficulties in understanding
social cues, repetitive behaviours, and strong, specific interests. Individuals
with ASD often experience sensory sensitivities and may have co-occurring
conditions like ADHD or anxiety. The exact cause is unclear, but both genetic
and environmental factors are believed to contribute. Diagnosis relies on
behavioural observations and developmental history, as no medical tests can
confirm ASD. Early intervention is crucial and can involve therapies such as
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, and occupational therapy,
which can greatly improve skills and adaptive functioning. With appropriate
support and understanding, people with ASD can lead meaningful and fulfilling
lives. Promoting awareness and inclusion is vital for creating supportive
environments for those with ASD.
