Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. Recognizing early signs is key to providing timely support. Children with autism may struggle with eye contact, facial expressions, or responding to their name. They may also show limited interest in interactive games or have difficulty understanding social cues. Early observation of these behaviors allows caregivers and professionals to seek appropriate interventions promptly.

Meltdowns in children with autism are intense emotional reactions that can manifest as crying, yelling, or physical behaviors. Unlike typical tantrums, these episodes are often triggered by sensory overload, changes in routine, or overwhelming social interactions. Children experiencing meltdowns may struggle to communicate their needs, leading to frustration that can escalate quickly. Recognizing these episodes as expressions of distress rather than deliberate misbehavior is key for caregivers and educators.

A rigid routine or ritual, like perfectly aligning objects in order or strictly observing a specific time to do things, may appear disturbing to some. Still, for people with autism disorders, it creates a bubble of safety that eases their anxiety and gives them comfort.
