Why to choose SGVP Hospital in Ahmedabad Autism Treatment?
What is Autism?
What is Autism?
Autism, also called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental and neurological disability that affects how people interact, communicate, behave, and learn.
Autism is characterized by challenges with social interaction and communication, as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. The ‘Spectrum’ in Autism Spectrum Disorder means that the condition manifests differently in each individual, with varying levels of severity and unique strengths and challenges.
Autism can be diagnosed at any age, but its symptoms usually start appearing within the first two or three years of life.
Although the condition does not have a cure, the earlier it is diagnosed and managed using different therapeutic interventions, the higher the chances of successful outcomes and an improved quality of life.
Types of Autism
- Kanner’s Syndrome: It is a classic form of autism, characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
- Asperger’s Syndrome: Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome usually have strong interests and abilities in specific areas but may struggle with social skills and communication.
- Childhood Disintegrative Disorder: This is a rare condition where a child loses previously acquired skills, such as language or motor skills, after a period of normal development.
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS): This category was used for individuals who did not fit into the other autism categories but still showed significant developmental delays in communication and social skills.
- Rett Syndrome: This is a genetic disorder that primarily affects females and is characterized by developmental delays and a loss of skills, along with other physical symptoms.
Causes of Autism
Causes of Autism
The exact cause of autism is unknown. It usually develops due to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors, such as medications, viral infections, air pollutants, or complications during pregnancy.
- More common in boys than girls
- Family history of autism
- Being born to older parents
- Being born to a mother who gets pregnant within a year of having another baby
- Maternal history of viral infections
- Gestational diabetes during pregnancy
- Bleeding during pregnancy
- Use of certain medications, such as valproate, during pregnancy
- Intrauterine growth restriction (smaller than expected fetal size)
- Prematurely born babies
- Low birth weight
- Decreased oxygen to the fetus at the time of pregnancy or delivery
- Children with certain medical conditions, like fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, etc.
Symptoms of Autism
The symptoms of autism vary among different individuals. However, some common symptoms associated with autism include:
- Social interaction challenges: Difficulty with eye contact, understanding social cues, sharing emotions, and engaging in reciprocal conversations.
- Communication difficulties: Delayed speech, unusual speech patterns, and difficulty understanding language.
- Restricted and repetitive behaviors: Inflexibility in routines, specific interests, and repetitive movements or actions.
- Sensory sensitivities: Increased or reduced sensitivity to sensory input, like light, sound, touch, or taste.
- Other characteristics: Difficulty with emotional regulation, anxiety, impulsivity, and hyper- or hypo-reactivity to stimuli.
- Common behaviors: Autistic individuals may have a strong need for routine and predictability, difficulty with change, and may engage in self-injurious behaviors.
Autism Diagnosis
Autism Diagnosis
There is no single medical test to diagnose autism, so medical professionals rely on a combination of assessments and observations to arrive at a diagnosis.
If the child shows any symptoms indicating autism, he or she will be referred to a specialist, such as a child psychologist, developmental pediatrician, or pediatric neurologist, for further evaluation.
- DNA testing for genetic diseases
- Developmental questionnaires
- Behavioral evaluation
- Audio and visual tests to rule out problems with hearing or vision that are not related to autism
- Occupational therapy screening
- Speech and communication evaluation
