Mirsarai Autism Center
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, most influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. The ways in which people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to severely challenged
Indicators of Autism:
Usually appear by age 2 or 3. Some associated development delays can appear even earlier, and often, it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months. Research shows that early intervention leads to positive outcomes later in life for people with autism.
Different Type of Autism:
-
Infantile Autism
-
Childhood onset of pervasive developmental disorder (after 30 months of age)
-
Atypical pervasive developmental disorders

-
We are committed to empowering the families and careers of children with autism to optimize their life prospects and unlock their true potential.
