Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a congenital developmental disorder that presents varying challenges in social communication, cognition, emotion, and behaviour. It affects interpersonal interactions, manifested through repetitive behaviours, insistence on sameness, narrow interests, and atypical sensory responses.
