What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals in unique ways. It’s characterised by a wide range of symptoms, behaviours, and challenges that can manifest differently in each person. ASD typically appears in early childhood and continues throughout a person’s life. Some common features of ASD include difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
