📖What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction, along with restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, typically becoming apparent in early childhood. It represents a broad spectrum, meaning that affected children can range from those with significant support needs and limited verbal communication to those with high intellectual ability but persistent social and behavioral differences. It is not caused by parenting style or vaccines, and early identification and intervention are strongly associated with improved long-term developmental outcomes.
