Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is comprised of a range of complex neurological disorders that impair social, communicative, and cognitive functions.
Defining Autism
- Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a genetic neurological disorder. Those with ASD have impaired social, communicative, and cognitive functions.
- Individuals with ASD suffer from cognitive impairments, though some have typical or above-average IQs.
- ASD behaviors include stereotyped actions such as hand flapping and body rocking, insistence on sameness, resistance to change, and, in some cases, aggression or self-injury.
- Once thought to be very rare, autism spectrum disorders are estimated to occur in as many as 1: 59 (one in every 59 children)
- Our experience taught us that child-led therapy creates new and lasting benefits for everyone involved.
- Diagnosis can be scary. As parents of a child with Autism, we understand firsthand the anxiety that comes with learning your child is different.
- But different shouldn’t mean your child has to be misunderstood or alienated. And different certainly doesn’t mean they can’t live a full and rich life with warm and significant relationships.
