There are no two autistic children who are alike.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a wide spectrum of dysfunctions and disabilities that affect individuals with different characteristics.The complexity of this incidence is characterised by a dysfunction of the children’s sensory systems, as well as communication and social skills, and their adaptive behaviour.Some children with ASD are born physically perfect. They have no physical limitations or dysfunctions to indicate or diagnose that the child has ASD at birth.
This is essential to enrol the child in an early intervention programme as soon as possible, hence optimising their potential and promoting independent living later on.In general, autistic children are managed by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals. It highlights several areas of a child’s “occupation”, including activities of daily living, school and play.
The government and private sectors in Malaysia offer various opportunities for autistic children to further their studies.
