The main features of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) include social communication and interaction challenges. Symptoms in pre-school children may include delayed speech development, lack of response to their name being called, intolerance of personal space, disinterest in interacting with others, and repetitive behaviors. Recognizing these signs early can help in seeking timely support and intervention for children with ASD.
