What is ASD?

ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a developmental disorder that affects an individual's social skills, communication, and behavior. People with ASD may experience difficulties in understanding and managing social interactions, adjusting to changes in routines, and displaying repetitive or restricted patterns of behaviors or interests. ASD is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it can manifest in varying levels of severity and presents differently in each individual. Some individuals with ASD may have exceptional abilities in certain areas, such as art, music, or mathematics, while others may have additional challenges, including intellectual disabilities or mental health issues. Early diagnosis and appropriate interventions can greatly support individuals with ASD to lead fulfilling lives and achieve their full potential.
