Autism can be defined as a developmental disability that usually interferes on how a person communicates with others, how they feel, how they express themselves and how they behave socially, among others. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is sometimes associated with a need to have a constant routine in life, where rigidity is the norm and there is a longing for performing repetitive actions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as Autism, is a range of conditions that are often influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Autism can be seen from an early age in toddlers, in fact, from 12 months onwards a child could start developing early signs of Autism.

As a parent, you probably want your child to be healthy, happy and filled with joy. You want a son or a daughter who is able to be empathetic towards others and who grows up being able to express clearly whatever it is on their mind and heart. However, as a parent, you probably have also realised that things change constantly and rapidly, and not everything goes according to the initial plan one has envisioned.
