What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interactions in individuals of all ages. In children, this disorder may present as difficulties in developing language skills, challenges in understanding social cues, and a preference for routine or repetitive behaviors, which can lead to challenges in forming friendships and adapting to new situations. As individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder grow into adulthood, they may continue to experience difficulties with social communication and may require support in navigating workplace environments and maintaining relationships. The diverse range of symptoms and severity associated with this disorder means that individuals may face unique challenges in daily functioning, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and tailored interventions to enhance their skills and promote independence.
