Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it affects individuals in different ways and to varying degrees of severity. While some individuals with autism may require significant support in daily life, others may function independently with minimal assistance.
The exact cause of autism is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. There is currently no cure for autism, but early intervention, support, and specialized services can help individuals with autism reach their full potential and improve their quality of life.
Counselling can play a supportive role in helping individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) address specific challenges, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall quality of life. Treatment and support for autism may include behavioral therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, educational interventions, and medication for associated symptoms or co-occurring conditions.
