Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. These disorders typically appear in early childhood and vary widely in severity and presentation. Individuals with ASDs may have challenges in social interactions, communication, and behavior. The causes of ASDs are not fully understood, but a combination of genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role. Early intervention and appropriate support services can help individuals with ASDs lead fulfilling lives.
