Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Early Intervention
Background:
- Siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at higher biological risk for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
- Early intervention during the first year of life is critical, even before symptoms are apparent.
- Understanding developmental trajectories in at-risk infants is essential for timely support.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
923
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
