Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD is a developmental disability that causes significant impairments in social, communication, and behavioral skills. Autism Spectrum Disorder covers a broad range of disorders each with unique characteristics and manifestations.
Child care professionals can identify possible signs of Autism spectrum disorder in children at an early age, by being familiar with its characteristic symptoms. This, in turn, allows for earlier interventions and potentially better outcomes. This disorder affects communication, social interaction and behavior in the children.
Autism can be understood as being in his or her own world.
Though many kinds of causes are usually attributed, the exact causes of Autism are not exactly known. But, the most possible risk factors can be such as the following.
Having an immediate Autistic family member
Genetic disorders like “Fragile X syndrome”
Genetic Mutations
Metabolic imbalances
Born to older parents
Low birth weight
Exposure to heavy metals and toxins
Immunological abnormalities
History of viral infections during gestation period or for the newborn

The term “spectrum” refers to a wide range of symptoms and severity. Each child with Autism has a unique pattern of behavior and a different level of severity. Autism Spectrum disorders can be narrowed down to four types of Autism. They are:
Autistic disorder (or classic Autism)
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
Asperger’s disorders
Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified
Among them, the main three types of Autism are Asperger’s, Autistic and PDD-NOS. Asperger’s syndrome is considered as mild autism and PDD-NOS is severe autism. Rett Syndrome also has similar features to Autism but it is a rare genetic disorder that is found after 6years of age, especially in female children. Childhood disintegrative disorder is a condition in which children develop normally till 3 to 4years of age and then slowly over a few months, lose all the skills like language, social, motor, and other skills they have learned.
The characteristics of Autism can vary in a wide range as this is a spectrum disorder. Autism can be high, moderate, or low. The three main types of Autism are:
Mild level of Autism is called Asperger’s syndrome in which the person may be intelligent enough to handle his/her daily activities.
Medium level of Autism is considered as Autistic disorder in which the Autism is significant and needs to undergo therapies to cope with daily life activities.
The higher level of Autism is named as Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified whose Autism is more severe than the ones having Asperger’s syndrome.
Each child defines Autism in his/her own way, depending upon the severity, the patterns of behavior and the varied symptoms.
Asperger’s is high functioning Autism. It is a condition that affects the way to communicate and to relate to others. The common challenges faced by children with Asperger’s syndrome include intolerance to changes in routine, non-regulated emotions, and lack of self advocacy
