Autism
What Is Autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by challenges in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive behaviours and interests. Symptoms usually appear in early childhood and vary widely in severity, abilities, and support needs. With timely intervention and consistent support, individuals with autism can develop essential skills and greater independence.
Types of Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Level 1 (Requiring Support) – Mild difficulties in social communication and behaviour, requiring minimal support.
- Level 2 (Requiring Substantial Support) – Noticeable challenges in communication and social interaction, needing structured and ongoing support.
- Level 3 (Requiring Very Substantial Support) – Significant impairments in communication and behaviour, requiring intensive and continuous support.
Treatment Approach
Treatment for autism is individualized and multidisciplinary. Our approach begins with a detailed developmental and psychiatric assessment. Interventions may include behavioural therapy, social skills training, communication support, emotional regulation strategies, parental counselling, and school coordination. Medication management is considered when needed to address associated concerns such as irritability, anxiety, attention difficulties, or sleep problems. Family involvement is central to promoting consistency and progress.
