Child and Adolescent Autism (ASD) at ORO Mental Health

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), also known as Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), is a neurodevelopmental condition that typically appears in early childhood. It affects social interaction, communication skills, and behavior. ASD is characterized by a wide range of symptoms and severity, making each individual's experience unique.

Common Symptoms of ASD in Children and Adolescents

Difficulty with Communication and Interaction:

• Limited or inconsistent eye contact.
• Difficulty in listening and responding to others.

Restricted Interests and Repetitive Behaviors:

• Repeating specific behaviors, phrases, or actions.
• Strong, focused interest in particular topics or objects.
• Resistance to changes in routine.
• Sensory sensitivities, such as to light, noise, or certain textures.

Impact on Daily Functioning:

• Challenges in school and social relationships.
• Difficulties with sleep patterns and daily tasks.
• Higher levels of stress and anxiety compared to peers.
• These symptoms can sometimes be misunderstood as disruptive behavior, leading to challenges in obtaining appropriate support.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis: Diagnosing ASD involves a comprehensive assessment by qualified professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, or developmental pediatricians. The process includes gathering detailed information, observing the child's behavior, and considering their developmental history.
