  1. What is Autism Spectrum Disorder? The developmental disability known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is brought on by variations in the brain. Certain individuals with ASD are known to differ, perhaps due to a hereditary disorder. There are still unknown causes. According to scientists, ASD is caused by a combination of factors that alter the typical manner in which people grow. There is still a lot we don't know about these reasons and how they affect individuals with ASD. People with ASD may exhibit distinct behaviours, modes of communication, interactions, and learning from most other people. Frequently, there is nothing unique about their appearance that makes them stand out from the crowd. People with ASD might have a wide range of abilities. For instance, while some

  2. people living with ASD may be nonverbal, others may possess sophisticated conversational skills. While some people living with ASD require extensive support in their everyday lives, others can work and lead normal lives with little to no assistance. ASD can manifest at any point in a person's life, though symptoms may gradually improve. It usually starts before the age of three. Within the first 12 months of life, some children exhibit symptoms of ASD. Others may experience symptoms once they are 24 months old or older. Around 18 to 24 months of age, some children with ASD stop learning new abilities or lose the talents they previously had. Until then, they continue to meet developmental milestones and acquire new skills. When kids with ASD grow into teenagers and young adults, they could struggle to make and keep friends, interact with peers and adults, or figure out what kinds of behaviours are appropriate at work or in the classroom. Healthcare professionals may become aware of them if they also suffer from disorders like anxiety, depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, which are more common in those with ASD than in those without it.
