Frequently Asked Questions

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges with social communication and interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. ASD is considered a spectrum disorder because it manifests differently in each individual, with a wide range of symptoms and severity levels.

What are the core features of autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by core features that include social communication challenges such as difficulty with social interactions and forming relationships. Individuals often exhibit restricted and repetitive behaviors like specific routines or intense interests. Sensory sensitivities to stimuli such as noise or textures are common, alongside communication differences such as delayed language development or atypical language use. ASD varies widely in intellectual and developmental abilities, from profound disability to exceptional strengths in areas like memory or focused interests. These features define the spectrum, highlighting both challenges and unique abilities within individuals diagnosed with ASD.

Can adults be diagnosed with an ASD?

Yes, adults can be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While ASD is often identified and diagnosed in childhood, many individuals may not receive a diagnosis until later in life, or they may have been misdiagnosed or undiagnosed altogether. Additionally, some individuals may not have recognized or sought assessment for ASD until adulthood, especially if they have developed coping mechanisms or if their symptoms were less apparent earlier in life.
