Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disability typically manifesting before the age of three, that profoundly affects various aspects of brain development including social interaction, communication skills, and cognitive function. Common challenges faced by individuals with autism include difficulties in communication, social interactions, and inappropriate behaviors.
