About Autism (ASD)
Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a subtype of extensive developmental disorder that generally begins in infancy and childhood, mainly manifested in varying degrees of speech development disorders, interpersonal barriers, narrow interest, and behavioral stereotypes. The prevalence of boys is higher than that of girls. The occurrence of the disease is currently thought to be caused by the interaction between genes and the environment. The cause is more complicated, there is no specific drug treatment, and early detection, early recognition, and early intervention are recommended.
