Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects brain function. It primarily influences how people communicate and interact socially. Each person with autism experiences unique symptoms that vary in intensity from mild to more pronounced. Key characteristics include challenges with social interaction and conversation, focused interests in particular subjects, and repetitive behaviors. Early diagnosis combined with appropriate support—including specialized education and family guidance—helps individuals develop essential skills and navigate daily life more effectively.
