ABOUT AUTISM
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a child communicates, interacts, and experiences the world. Every child with autism is unique—some may find social interaction or communication challenging, while others may have exceptional strengths such as strong memory skills or above-average intelligence.
While there is no single cause or cure, early intervention and the right support can make a powerful difference in a child’s growth and development. At NetBloom Therapy, we believe every child’s journey is unique—and so is the way they bloom.
