CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.

Detailed explanation-2: -People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention. These characteristics can make life very challenging.

Detailed explanation-3: -These disorders are characterized by three core deficits: impaired communication, impaired reciprocal social interaction and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors or interests.

Detailed explanation-4: -Autism is highly variable – the word ‘spectrum’ refers to how autism is experienced differently by different people. Autism is considered a spectrum because it’s different for every autistic person – some autistic people might need more support than others to live the lives they want to lead.

Detailed explanation-5: -The broad autism phenotype (BAP), also called broader autism phenotype, describes a range of traits that resemble autism, but are considered subclinical, or not enough to qualify for a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
