Autism

Causes & Symptoms:

Causes: 

 The exact cause of autism is unknown, but research suggests it results from a combination of:

• Genetic factors – Certain genetic changes may increase the likelihood of autism.
• Brain development differences – Changes in brain structure or function during early growth.
• Environmental influences – Factors before or during birth, such as exposure to toxins or complications during pregnancy.

Symptoms:

1. Difficulty in social interaction (e.g., making eye contact, understanding social cues).
2. Delayed or unusual speech and communication patterns.
3. Repetitive behaviours (e.g., hand flapping, repeating phrases).
4. Strong preference for routines and dislike of changes.
5. Intense interest in specific topics or activities.
6. Unusual responses to sensory input (e.g., sensitivity to light, sound, touch).

Diagnosis involves:

Autism is diagnosed based on behaviour and developmental history rather than a single medical test. Diagnosis usually involves:

• Developmental screening – Checking if the child is meeting age-appropriate milestones.
• Comprehensive evaluation – By specialists such as pediatricians, neurologists, or psychologists.
• Observation – Watching how the child communicates, plays, and interacts.
• Standardized tools – Questionnaires and rating scales like the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).  Early diagnosis is important so that intervention and support can start as soon as possible.
