Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
ASD is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates and interacts with others. Individuals with ASD may have difficulty understanding social cues, exhibit repetitive behaviors, and have specific routines or interests. Symptoms typically appear before age 3 and can vary widely among individuals.
Signs and Symptoms of Autism
Parents from Jasola, Okhla, Sarita Vihar, and Shaheen Bagh often seek professional guidance when they notice communication, social interaction, or behavioral challenges in their children. Early identification can help children receive the right support at the right time.
Communication
- Understanding and using gestures like pointing or waving;
- Understanding and using spoken words;
- Understanding language that doesn’t mean exactly what it says, like expressions or ideas that are nonliteral;
- Following directions;
- Learning to read or write—some children with autism read early but do not understand what they read (this is called hyperlexia); and
- Having or starting conversations.
A Person With Autism may
- Lose early words; talk very little or not at all;
- Be hard to understand;
- Repeat words or phrases that they just heard recently or that they heard days or weeks earlier (this is called echolalia);
- Use challenging or unconventional behaviors instead of words or gestures to communicate what they want;
