What is Autism?
We see the word Autism everywhere. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a disability characterized by challenges in social behaviors and interactions, verbal and non-verbal communication and learning. Autism is a spectrum disorder with a neurological basis. There are many subtypes of autism, and they are a result of both environmental and genetic factors.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), Autism is defined as “persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction,” and “restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviors, interests and activities.”
Autism is very often joined with sensory integration difficulties, as well as medical challenges such as immune function and gastrointestinal problems. It is a disorder that affects individuals their whole lives and greatly impacts their families. Early identification is crucial to start an intervention. Early intervention for children with autism can improve their levels of learning, communication, and global development. Common intervention approaches used to address children with Autism include Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Floortime, Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), TEAACH method, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy.
