Defining Autism
• Autism is a lifelong, developmental
disability that affects how a person:
– communicates
– relates to other people
– how they experience the world around them.
• The symptoms of Autism are many, and
can increase if gone undiagnosed.
- Difficulties in movement, speech difficulty
in communication, and even sensitivity to
light and dark etc.
- Difficulty interpreting what others are
thinking and feeling
- Other symptoms related to psychological
aspects can be anxiety, sleep disorders, and in
severe cases the individual might have
seizures as well.
Symptoms
Treatment
The treatment for autistic individuals
involves specific behavior treatment done
through trained psychologists in
specialized institutes.
Autistic individuals need round the clock
care, and the symptoms might re-appear if
the brain starts to develop more
abnormalities with the passage of time.
