Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children: Navigating Challenges and Celebrating Differences

Abstract

Author(s):

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. It affects individuals across a wide range of abilities and strengths and is often diagnosed in early childhood. By gaining a deeper understanding of autism and embracing neurodiversity, we can create more inclusive and supportive environments for children on the spectrum.
