Every child is wonderfully unique. Some speak early, some take their time. Some love cuddles, others prefer space. But when your little one seems to be missing key social or developmental milestones, it’s natural to feel concerned — and full of questions.
One possible reason could be Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) — a condition that affects how a child connects, communicates, and experiences the world.
At Aashakiran IVF, North India’s most trusted and fastest-growing IVF chain, we’re here not just for conception, but for every step of parenthood — including helping you understand developmental conditions like autism. Our pediatric and child-care teams across Kharar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Bathinda are here to support your family with compassion and clarity.
So, What is Autism Exactly?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition — which means it affects brain development, especially in areas like communication, behavior, and social interaction.
And the word “spectrum” matters. Because every child with autism is different. Some may have just a few mild traits, while others may need more support in their daily lives.
Common Signs to Watch For
If your child is under 3 and you’ve noticed things that feel “a little off,” trust your instincts. Here are a few signs that might suggest your child could be on the autism spectrum:
- Doesn’t smile at people or make eye contact
- Isn’t pointing at things to show interest
- Doesn’t respond to their name
- Repeats words or phrases again and again (echolalia)
- Prefers playing alone or lines up toys instead of playing with them
- Gets upset over minor changes in routine
- Has unusual sensitivity to lights, sounds, or touch
Why Early Action Makes a Big Difference
Here’s the good news: early intervention changes everything.
The sooner autism is identified, the better we can help children develop communication, social, and learning skills through therapy and play-based support. At Aashakiran IVF, our pediatric team is trained to spot early signs and guide parents with care — not fear.
We offer:
- Pediatric developmental screening
- Speech and occupational therapy referrals
- Support for children born through IVF or at high risk
- NICU & PICU facilities for babies who need advanced care
Can Autism Be Found During Pregnancy?
Not directly. Autism can’t be diagnosed in the womb — but certain genetic tests (like Whole Exome Sequencing, Carrier Screening, or CMA) can help identify risk factors for inherited conditions.
If you’re planning a family or going through IVF, our expert fertility-genetic team, led by Dr. Asmita Mahla will walk you through your options with honesty and warmth.
