ASD
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, in which individuals
experience communication problems, difficulty with social interactions and a tendency to repeat specific patterns of behaviour. They may also have a significantly restricted range of activities and interests. People with autism may also commonly experience difficulties with cognitive and behavioural flexibility, altered sensory feeling, sensory processing difficulties and emotional regulation difficulties. Early diagnosis of autism can make a dramatic difference by enabling the individual to understand how they process their thoughts and cope within their environment and social situations. This can be achieved by learning coping strategies and social skills which can support the individual’s ability to cope with situations
that may be anxiety provoking thus improving life quality and ability to function within a social environment.

ASD is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is called a "spectrum" because it includes a wide range of symptoms and abilities, which vary greatly among individuals.
Symptoms can include difficulties with social interactions, communication challenges, repetitive behaviors, intense focus on specific interests, and sensory sensitivities. Each person with ASD is unique and may exhibit different combinations of symptoms.
Parents or caregivers who notice developmental delays, atypical behaviors, or social and communication challenges in their child should consider an ASD assessment. Early identification can lead to timely intervention and support.
ASD can be identified as early as 18 months, but assessments can be conducted at any age if there are concerns about development. Early diagnosis is recommended for the best outcomes.
The process usually includes:
- Detailed interviews with parents or caregivers.
- Observations of the child's behavior.
- Standardised tests to assess communication, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
- Medical examinations to rule out other conditions.
After the assessment, the team will discuss their findings with you. If a diagnosis of ASD is made, they will provide recommendations for interventions, therapies, and support services tailored to the individual's needs.
