Rett Syndrome
Autism
is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. It is characterized by differences
in behavior, social interaction, communication, special interests and sensory
processing. These differences can present people on the autism spectrum with
challenges in how they interact with their environment. To receive a diagnosis
of autism, these symptoms need to be evident from childhood and impair the
person’s daily functioning. Some characteristics of autism are common to a
greater or lesser extent among many people on the autism spectrum; other
characteristics are typical but not necessarily experienced by all people on
the autism spectrum.
They
have varying degree of difficulties in social interaction, language and
communication, as well as behavior Autistic Disorder, or Autism, the
impairments in the social and communication areas are severe and sustained and
present before the age of three years (although they may not receive a
diagnosis by this age). There is likely to be a restricted range of activities
and interests. Autism is sometimes referred to as classic autism. Speech delay
is a core feature of Autism. Individuals with Autism may also have an
intellectual disability.
Developmental
pediatricians, psychiatrists and psychologists who are qualified and
experienced in assessing people on the autism spectrum diagnose autism. An assessment
includes observations, standardized tests or questionnaires, and meeting with
the individual, their family and service providers. Information is gathered
about the individual’s strengths and difficulties, particularly in the areas of
social interaction and social communication, sensory processing, and restricted
and repetitive interests, activities and behaviors. There is no single behavior
that indicates autism. Currently, there are no blood tests that can detect
autism.
