Health
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is one such condition that often begins to show signs in early childhood.
Health
It affects how a child communicates, interacts socially, learns, and behaves. The term “spectrum” is key — because autism looks different in every child.
Health
Some may struggle with speech or prefer to play alone, while others may have repetitive behaviours or be highly sensitive to sounds or touch.
Health
The earlier autism is identified, the sooner a child can start receiving the support they need.
Health
In the first few years of life, the brain is in a rapid phase of growth — it’s more flexible, more responsive, and more open to learning. This period is often referred to as the “critical window” for intervention.
Health
Early diagnosis allows for early intervention, and this can be truly life-changing.
