Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. Early identification is the key to ensuring children receive the right support.
- Early Signs of Autism
- Lack of eye contact
- Delayed speech or no speech
- Limited social interaction or play skills
- Repetitive behaviors (hand flapping, lining up toys)
- Strong preference for routine and difficulty with change
How Parents Can Help
- Observe & Seek Help Early – If you notice delays, consult a pediatrician or psychologist.
- Early Intervention – Therapy such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral interventions make a huge difference.
- Family Support – Encourage small social interactions and celebrate every milestone.
Remember: Autism is not a disease, but a different way of experiencing the world. With early support, children can thrive.
