Common questions about autism (asd)
- Why does my child have autism (ASD)?
- There is no single known cause. Both genetics and environment are thought to contribute. Importantly, it isn't caused by parenting — and identifying a 'reason' matters far less than starting the right support early.
- What are the levels of autism spectrum disorder?
- ASD is described in three support levels: Level 1 (requiring support), Level 2 (requiring substantial support), and Level 3 (requiring very substantial support). The level reflects how much day-to-day support a child needs.
- Can autism occur alongside other conditions?
- Yes. ASD frequently co-occurs with conditions such as language disorders, learning difficulties, intellectual differences, epilepsy, and sleep difficulties. A thorough assessment looks at the whole child.
- What are some common myths about autism?
- A common myth is that autistic people don't feel emotions or can't empathise — they do; they often just experience and express emotions differently. Another is that every autistic child has a 'special talent'. Each child is an individual.
- Why is early diagnosis of autism important?
- Early diagnosis allows intervention during the years when the brain is most adaptable. Starting support early tends to improve communication, learning and adaptive skills, and better long-term outcomes.
