Case Discussion on Autism
Autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, manifests early in childhood and is characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Its exact etiology remains unclear, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors likely contributes to its development. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a wide range of presentations, from mild to severe, with individuals exhibiting unique strengths and challenges. Early diagnosis and intervention, including behavioral therapy and educational support tailored to individual needs, can significantly improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals with autism. Ongoing research aims to deepen our understanding of autism's underlying mechanisms and develop more effective interventions to support affected individuals and their families.
