Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a brain development disorder that begins in early childhood and continues to adulthood. It directly affects a person’s societal behavior and understanding. An autistic person’s way of interaction and socialization is different from others so it becomes easy to identify them. This generates a lot of anguish for the person as well as the immediate family members. However, with proper treatment, this disorder can be treated to bring a considerable change in the child’s behavior. Autism can be detected at an early age especially when the child starts schooling. However, children as young as 18 months can develop this condition. There is no definite cure as of yet but with proper and early treatment for autism, a lot of change is possible.
