What is your understanding of autism spectrum disorder?

To my understanding, the word autistic spectrum disorder, which is referred to as (ASD, means a sickness that is caused by having some Brian problem. This means you have a different disability, Brian. When a person has autism spectrum disorder, they usually have problems interacting with people. Communication is often one of the problems that people with autism spectrum disorder face.

State and explain the early signs or symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

Children are the ones that do get affected by autism spectrum disorder. However, some of the early signs of autism spectrum disorder are:

Lack of Communication: When a person lacks communication, it is a sign that they have autism spectrum disorder.

Failure to pronounce name: This is one of the key signs of autism spectrum disorder that people often face, which happens when a person acts as if he or she is not hearing you.

Poor eye contact: This is another sign that shows that a person is suffering from autism spectrum disorder when the person lacks facial expressions in his or her eyes.

Is it a curable disease? How can it be handled?

For now, there is no cure for the disease known as autism spectrum disorder. However, there are several ways that it can be handled, which are:

• Social training skills in a group
• Through the application of behavioral analysis
• Through speech and language therapy
• through parental care and training.

Have you ever had an encounter with a person suffering from autism spectrum disorder?

No, I have not had an encounter with a person suffering from autism spectrum disorder before, but I have watched many times in a movie where a person is suffering from the disease. In the last movie that I watched, the person's behavior was like that of someone who has mental problems. The person finds it difficult to remember things, even his name.

Share your advice with society, caregivers, and parents of children with autism.

As parents, caregivers, and even children, it is advisable to always go for a medical checkup so you can know your state of health. As a parent, always keep an eye on your children to know their feelings, and as a child, always report any sign of illness to your parents so they can take you to the hospital for treatment.

@yakspeace, @dave-hanny, and @kuzyboy you all are invited.
