  2. Autism Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a brain developmental disorder. Due to inadequate brain development, individuals show poor communication skills. It is diagnosed by the age of 2 years.

  3. Levels of Autism Disorder DSM-5 and ICD-11 have laid out three levels of disorder based on the severity of: Communication Skills a. Repetitive behavior b. Each level requires a different amount of support from parents or caregivers. Level 1 Autism symptoms in children: Require Support Limited initiation of social conversations. Poor response to social cues such as body language or facial expressions. Repetitive behaviors exist but do not affect them significantly. Exhibit inflexibility in behavior that affects adaptability to the environment. Might also show sensitivities to surrounding triggers like light or sound. Requires little support and can function in a relatively independent manner.

  4. Level 2 Autism spectrum disorder symptoms: Require Substantial Support Lack of social skills is apparent even in the presence of support from parents or caregivers. Difficulty in initiating interactions and responding to conversations. Repetitive behaviors are frequent and interfere with their routine activities. Difficulty in switching the routine tasks. Require substantial support from parents or caregivers.

  5. Level 3 Autism in toddlers: Require Very Substantial Support Minimal interaction and response to social cues. Increased tendency of isolation. Repetitive actions interrupt their functioning in all aspects of life. Extreme difficulty in changing daily tasks. Require very substantial support, that is, complete reliance on a caregiver for daily tasks.

  6. Treatment and Challenges Autism affects the interaction skills of children, leading to their social isolation. The mental well-being of such children is also affected, causing depression and anxiety. Therapies such as speech therapy, behavior therapy, occupational therapy, etc., have shown improvements. No definite cure exists for autism. Advances in stem cell therapy have shown promise for autism treatment.
