Characteristics of syndromic ASD conditions
Okay kiddo, so sometimes people are born with a condition called Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD for short. There are different types of ASD and some of them are called "syndromic" because they come with other characteristics or features in addition to autism.
These features can include things like differences in how a person's body looks or works, like having a larger head or being really good at a certain skill. Sometimes they can also have health problems like seizures or digestive issues.
Syndromic ASD conditions are different from other types of ASD because they come with these additional features that can help doctors identify which specific condition a person has. By understanding these differences, doctors and caregivers can provide the best possible care and support for the person with ASD.
