Autism Spectrum Disorder<\/h1> <\/div> Overview<\/h2> Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is described as a \u201cdevelopmental disorder\u201d because symptoms generally appear in the first 2 years of life.<\/p>
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)<\/em>, a guide created by the American Psychiatric Association that health care providers use to diagnose mental disorders, people with ASD often have:<\/p> - Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people<\/li>
- Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors<\/li>
- Symptoms that affect their ability to function in school, work, and other areas of life<\/li><\/ul>
Autism is known as a \u201cspectrum\u201d disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience.<\/p>
People of all genders, races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds can be diagnosed with ASD. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person\u2019s symptoms and daily functioning. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children receive screening for autism. Caregivers should talk to their child\u2019s health care provider about ASD screening or evaluation.<\/p> <\/div> <\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/main><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
