Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how individuals perceive the world, communicate, and interact with others. It is called a “spectrum” because it encompasses a wide range of strengths, challenges, and characteristics that vary from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main symptoms typically fall into two core categories: social communication challenges and restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some individuals may have exceptional talents in areas like art, music, or mathematics, while others may face difficulties with social interactions, sensory sensitivities, or communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individuals with autism and their families often face significant challenges, including stigma, lack of understanding, and limited access to resources and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
