ASD Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism spectrum disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders, which means that the characteristics of the disorder are present since an early age, usually by the age of 3, and affect how people behave, interact with each other, and experience the world. The presentation can vary a lot amongst individuals, both in terms of symptoms and severity. 

Having ASD means that the brain functions in a different way compared to the majority of the population, making it sometimes difficult for people both to understand others and feel understood. The main characteristics of ASD are difficulties in social communication and social interactions, repetitive behaviours, restricted interests and often hyper or hyposensitivity to stimuli. There can be learning difficulties and delays in the child’s developmental milestones, but people affected by autism can be exceptionally skilled in some areas, like art, music, math, problem solving, analysis of tests and tasks which involve memory.
