ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It’s a condition that affects how people pay attention, stay still, and control their actions. People with ADHD might find it hard to concentrate, can get distracted easily, feel restless, or act without thinking. No one knows exactly what causes ADHD, but it often runs in families.
This means being very active, talking a lot, not being able to sit still, or doing things without thinking first.Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that influences communication, social interaction, and an individual's perception of their environment. The term "spectrum" reflects the extensive variability in symptoms, abilities, and levels of support required by individuals on the autism spectrum.
It is important to recognize that autism is not classified as an illness or disease and does not require a cure; rather, it denotes neurodivergent brain development. With appropriate interventions and support, autistic individuals are capable of leading independent and fulfilling lives.
The primary characteristics of autism typically fall within two categories, each varying in degree among individuals:
The causality of autism remains incompletely understood and is believed to involve a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors.
While there is currently no cure for autism, a diverse array of therapies and support services can assist individuals in managing challenges and enhancing life skills.
Research indicates that early intervention can significantly enhance outcomes for many autistic children.
