This material is very informative. I learned that Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of complex neurodivergent disorders instead of one specific disorder. Symptoms of Autism include difficulties communicating with others, restricted interests, repetitive behaviors, and more. It is believed that there are both genetic and environmental factors that could play a role in ASD.
