Autism is a disorder marked by problems with social interaction and communication, as well as restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Some people are born with autism while others develop it later in life. Symptoms typically emerge between ages 2-3 and may include lack of social engagement, delayed language development, and stimming behaviors like hand flapping. While there is no cure, early intervention through specialized education programs can help children with autism improve their communication and learning skills. Providing support is important, as autism often co-occurs with conditions like intellectual disabilities, seizures, or genetic syndromes.
