Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the world, affecting an estimated 67 million people globally. In Eswatini, the first autism survey in the Lubombo region revealed a prevalence rate of 1 in 6 individuals (16.7%) living with ASD.
The study highlighted major challenges in accessing education, healthcare, therapy, and specialized services particularly sexual and reproductive health care for individuals with autism.
ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviours. Common signs include delayed speech, social interaction challenges, sensory sensitivities, intense focus, and repetitive movements.
Experts emphasize that early diagnosis and intervention are critical for helping individuals with ASD reach their full potential.
