Autism Spectrum Disorder
Definition:
"Autism or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex, lifelong neurological disorders that affect the functioning of the brain. Individuals with ASD have developmental disabilities that can impact how they understand what they see, hear and otherwise sense, which in turn can result in difficulties with communication, behaviour and relationships with other people. ASD can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other disorders, such as learning disabilities, anxiety, attention difficulties or unusual responses to sensory stimuli."
