There is no single test to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), previously referred to as Asperger's Syndrome. ASD is recognised as a neurodevelopmental disorder, where a child may exhibit developmental differences compared to their peers. Parents often notice these differences as challenges in social interaction and communication. Teachers may also observe behavioural or learning difficulties in a classroom setting.
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders, like ASD, may demonstrate difficulties with social engagement, exhibit rigid thinking patterns, and engage in repetitive behaviours.
