Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that manifests early in life. Children with ASD experience deficits in social communication as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. SSCY Centre is the main referral centre for evaluation/treatment of children with presumed and confirmed ASD in Manitoba and captures over 90% of children <6 years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in Manitoba. This project aims to gain an understanding of the families that come to SSCY centre for ASD diagnosis and how we can help with supports, and interventions.
