What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. It's called a "spectrum" because it looks different in every child: some children need significant support, while others need targeted help in specific areas.

Common signs families notice include delayed language development, limited eye contact, repetitive behaviors, difficulty with social interaction, and strong reactions to changes in routine. An early diagnosis, paired with evidence-based intervention like ABA therapy, gives children the best opportunity to build skills during key developmental windows.
