About Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), encompasses a specific set of behavioural and developmental challenges. When a child is diagnosed with ASD, it indicates that their communication, social interactions, and play skills may potentially be impacted to varying degrees.
The term ‘spectrum’ in ASD underscores the uniqueness of each child, as they possess an individual combination of characteristics, resulting in a distinct profile. This diversity is what constitutes the spectrum.
Throughout a child’s growth and development, the nature and expression of these challenges may evolve, influenced by their biology and environmental experiences.
