Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopment disorders characterized by significant impairment in social interaction and nonverbal communication as well as extremely narrow repertoire of interests.

It can be identified early during childhood though quite a few cases go undiagnosed until the impairment causes distress during late schooling years.

Services & Care In Autism Services, one of the primary things to be

considered is the psycho-education of the family regarding the person's condition. The severity of different problems varies from person to person in ASD.

Hence during evaluation phase, it is good to involve family and clarify to the family why their kid is behaving in certain ways.
