In the modern technological age, understanding developmental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is increasingly important. Autism is a neurological condition that affects communication, social interaction, behavior, and learning, with symptoms typically emerging between 18 months and 3 years of age. It varies widely in severity and traits, reflecting a spectrum of abilities and challenges influenced by genetic and environmental factors. First identified in 1943 by psychologist Leo Kanner, autism has become more widely recognized, yet its prevalence in countries like Pakistan remains unclear—estimated at around 350,000 cases in 2020. In contrast, U.S. statistics show a rising diagnosis rate, particularly among boys. There is a growing need for trained professionals to support individuals with autism through therapy, education, and early intervention. Diplomas and specialized training in autism can empower caregivers, educators, and therapists to foster meaningful improvements in the lives of autistic individuals and their families.
