Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behaviour. It is characterised by a wide range of symptoms and challenges, often referred to as a “spectrum” due to the diversity of its impact.

The exact causes of autism are still being researched, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

As per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1% of the world’s population, which amounts to over 75 million people.

Early signs of autism can include delayed speech or language development, difficulty with social interactions, repetitive behaviours, and intense focus on specific interests.

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment by a team of professionals, including psychologists and paediatricians. The process may include interviews, observations, and developmental assessments.

Early intervention is critical in helping children with autism reach their full potential. It can lead to improved outcomes in areas like communication, behaviour, and social skills.

Parents can provide support by creating a structured and nurturing environment, learning about their child’s needs, and working closely with therapists and educators.
