Question 1

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Accepted Answer

ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interactions, and specific behaviors. It often appears before the age of three but can also be diagnosed later, including in adults who have learned to compensate for these differences.

Question 2

What are the most common signs?

Accepted Answer

Young children: lack of babbling or eye contact, strong interest in objects rather than people, repetitive gestures (flapping, rocking), loss of acquired skills. Preschool or school-aged children: little interest in other children, echolalia (repeating words/phrases), sensory hypersensitivities, restricted interests. At any age: need for concrete information, difficulty decoding social cues, slow responses on personal topics.

Question 3

What causes autism?

Accepted Answer

No single cause has been identified. Research has explored genetic, environmental, social, and biological factors, but a scientific consensus has yet to be established.

Question 4

What is neurofeedback?

Accepted Answer

It is a non-invasive brain training method that uses sensors to measure electrical activity and provide visual or auditory feedback. The goal is to help the brain self-regulate, improving communication, attention, mental flexibility, and sensory management.

Studies and clinical observations report: Improved sociability Better communication and language Increased cognitive and sensory alertness Reduction of certain problematic behaviors Overall improvement in the quality of life for the individual and family
