ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) or Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is a developmental condition that impacts both children and adults alike. ASD is identified with difficulties in social communication and interaction, developing and maintaining relationships, repetitive behaviours of behaviour, restricted interests as well as often experiencing sensory sensitivity. Such identified difficulties are known to create significant impairment in important aspects of an individuals life, such as home, school and interacting in the community.
