Every parent dreams of seeing their child thrive—socially, academically, and emotionally. But when a child struggles with communication, attention, or behavior, it can be confusing and overwhelming. Two of the most common developmental challenges parents face today are Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
What Are Autism and ADHD?
- Autism (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a child communicates, interacts, and processes the world around them.
- ADHD affects a child’s ability to pay attention, control impulses, and regulate energy levels.
While these conditions are different, children can sometimes have both.
Early Signs Parents Should Look Out For
- Delayed speech or lack of response when called by name
- Difficulty making eye contact or forming friendships
- Repetitive behaviors (hand-flapping, rocking, lining up toys)
- Extreme focus on one activity but difficulty paying attention to others
- Hyperactivity, restlessness, or inability to sit still
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
The earlier a child receives assessment and therapy, the better the long-term outcome. Early intervention helps children develop language, improve social skills, and succeed academically.
