Exploring Adolescent Autism: Understanding, Challenges, and Interventions

Abstract

Author(s):

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges in social interaction, communication, and restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities. While ASD manifests differently across individuals, adolescence represents a critical period marked by unique challenges and opportunities for those with autism. In this essay, we delve into the nuances of adolescent autism, exploring its characteristics, challenges, and interventions.
