Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is a spectrum, meaning the symptoms and their severity can vary significantly from one individual to another. People with ASD may experience challenges in verbal and nonverbal communication, forming relationships, and understanding social cues. Some individuals may also engage in repetitive behaviors or have specific interests.
At Nizhoni Mind, we recognize that every person with ASD is unique, and their journey is personal. We provide a range of services aimed at supporting individuals with ASD and helping them navigate challenges while fostering their strengths.
