Understanding Autism

Autism is a lifelong developmental disorder that typically occurs in the first three years of life. It can impact social skills, communication (verbal and non-verbal), and repetitive/restricted behaviors.

Autism is known as a spectrum disorder because the severity of symptoms ranges from mild learning and social difficulties to severe impairment with multiple challenges.

There are no medical or genetic tests that can detect autism. Diagnosis requires careful observation by experienced professionals using internationally recognized criteria.

At present, there is no cure, but the most consistently effective support is structured intervention, especially early intervention before age five.
