What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and experiences the world around them. It’s called a “spectrum” because it looks different for every individual.
Common Signs May Include:
- Difficulty with social interaction and making eye contact
- Delayed or different speech and language development
- Repetitive behaviors or intense focus on specific interests
- Sensory sensitivities – being overwhelmed by sounds, lights, textures, or smells
- Challenges with changes in routine
Important to Remember:
- Autism is not a disease. It’s a different way of thinking and experiencing the world.
- Early intervention makes a huge difference in communication, behavior, and independence.
- Every child with autism has unique strengths and abilities.
