What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person thinks, communicates, and interacts with others. It is referred to as a spectrum because symptoms and their severity vary widely between individuals.
People with autism may experience challenges in areas such as:
- Social communication and relationships
- Sensory sensitivities (to sound, touch, light, etc.)
- Repetitive behaviours or strict routines
- Difficulty with change or unexpected events
ASD is not a mental illness, but a different way of experiencing the world. Many individuals on the spectrum have unique strengths, such as attention to detail, deep focus, or creativity in specific areas.
What is the Difference Between Autism and Asperger's?
Asperger’s Syndrome was previously considered a separate diagnosis, typically used for individuals who appear high-functioning and have no language delays. Today, it falls under the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
However, some people still identify with the term. In clinical settings, a private autism assessment will assess all traits regardless of terminology, focusing instead on individual needs and support.
Signs of Autism in Adults vs. Signs of Autism in Children
Recognising the signs of autism in adults or children can be difficult without a formal evaluation. Below are some early indicators you can look out for when considering a private autism assessment:
