Autism Spectrum Disorder


Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by deficits in reciprocal social communication and the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour.


Children or adults with autism are all different but some signs could be highlighted as: 

Finding it difficult to talk to and be with other people

Having unusual or intense interests

Finding some situations and experiences difficult to cope with

Sometimes finding noise, touch, taste, texture, lights or smells difficult to deal with
  Strongly preferring your usual routine

 Developing more easily in some areas than others.

 Finding it difficult to understand others’ emotions and feelings.

Lacking eye contact and body language deficit

Lacking facial expressions (it does not mean that emotions are not present) 

Difficulties in understanding body gestures or non-verbal communication

 Finding difficult to share imaginative play 

 

Having an assessment means you can talk about these things and find out possible reasons for them.
