FAQs

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, behaviour, and social interactions. Each individual with autism is unique, with their own strengths and challenges.

Autism is diagnosed through a comprehensive assessment process that includes observations, interviews, and standardized tests conducted by qualified professionals.

Autism can be diagnosed as early as 18 months, but many individuals receive a diagnosis later in life. Early intervention is crucial for the best outcomes.
