Our Unique Value Proposition
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person’s social interaction, communication, and behavior. It is a lifelong condition, but early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve a child’s quality of life.
🧩 Key Characteristics of Autism:
✔️ Difficulty in social interactions and forming relationships
✔️ Delayed speech and language development
✔️ Repetitive behaviors and restricted interests
✔️ Sensory sensitivities (light, sound, texture, taste)
💡 Did You Know?
🔹 Autism is not a disease but a different way of seeing the world.
🔹 Early intervention can help improve cognitive and social skills.
Why Autism Needs More Attention?
Many parents and educators do not recognize early signs.
Few centers provide expert autism therapy.
Many families fear social judgment and delay seeking help.
Many families cannot afford long-term therapy programs.
ACNF is working to overcome these challenges by providing FREE or subsidized therapy and awareness programs!
Global and Indian CDC Data
1 in 36 children is diagnosed with autism. Autism is 4 times more common in boys than in girls. 17% of children aged 3–17 have a developmental disability, including autism.
1 in 500 children is estimated to have autism. Autism prevalence is rising, but many cases go undiagnosed due to a lack of screening facilities. Only a few centers in India provide specialized autism intervention.
With rising cases, it is more important than ever to spread awareness and make therapy accessible to all!
Why Early Intervention Matters?
Studies show that children diagnosed and treated early have
Better communication and language skills
Improved social interactions
Higher chances of attending mainstream schools
Increased independence in daily life
ACNF provides early screening and evidence-based therapy to help children reach their full potential!
