Autism spectrum disorder
Autism spectrum disorder
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder. Symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. Autism may not be recognized or diagnosed until much later. It can be diagnosed at any age. A person with autism has a brain that works differently. The way they respond to things may be different. It can affect the way a person gets along and communicates with others. It can affect how a person behaves. It can make it difficult for a person to do the things that others do easily. People with autism can be very sensitive to certain things.
Autism can affect someone a little, a lot, or somewhere in between. The term ‘high functioning’ means mild challenges. ‘Low functioning’ means a person has severe challenges. That’s why it’s called a ‘spectrum’ disorder. The challenges of autism affect people in different ways.
If you have any questions about ASD, or what Aetna Better Health of Texas can do to help you or your child, call the Member Services phone number on your child’s ID card and ask to speak with a Case Manager. We want to walk through this journey with you.
