Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
One of the hallmark characteristics of ASD is difficulties in social interaction and communication. People with ASD may struggle with understanding social cues, making eye contact, engaging in reciprocal conversations, and forming relationships with others. They may also have specific interests or engage in repetitive behaviors.
ASD is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Some individuals with ASD may have exceptional abilities in areas such as mathematics, music, or art, while others may face challenges in various aspects of daily life. The level of support and intervention needed can vary greatly depending on an individual’s specific needs and strengths.
Diagnosing ASD typically involves a thorough assessment by healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and developmental pediatricians. They will consider various factors, including a person’s behavior, communication skills, and developmental history, to make an accurate diagnosis.
