Autism Spectrum
Autism Spectrum
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is said to be a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life.
Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is a wide variety in the type and severity of symptoms people experience. ASD occurs in all ethnic, racial, and economic groups.
Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments, and services can improve a person’s symptoms and the ability to function in life.
Children and adults with ASD usually have:
- Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people
- Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors
- Symptoms that hurt the person’s ability to function properly at home, school, work, and other areas of life
