Throughout my professional experience, one of the issues that parents worry about most is their children falling behind their peers in development. Although every child’s developmental process is unique, in some cases these differences may be a sign of developmental delay. In this article, I would like to shed light on the subject of developmental delay in children, both scientifically and through observations I have gained from the field.

Autism, as we all know, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that becomes apparent in the early years of life, characterized by limitations in social interaction, inability to communicate with others, restricted interests, and certain repetitive behaviors. The primary issue faced by children with autism is not a lack of learning, but rather an inability to engage with others, establish connections between events, and access knowledge of the world.

Neuroplasticity holds promise as a treatment and intervention approach for individuals with autism. For example, early intervention programs aim to stimulate neuroplasticity in the brains of children with autism. These programs can help children improve their social skills, enhance communication abilities, and reduce repetitive behaviors.
