Autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder \u2013 ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder<\/strong> that usually appears very early in life, often during the first few years of childhood. Children with autism may experience persistent difficulties in communication and social interaction<\/strong>, along with repetitive and rigid behaviors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depression, on the other hand, is a mood disorder<\/strong> that occurs when a person experiences prolonged feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in life. It may also be accompanied by anxiety, changes in sleep or eating patterns, or even negative thoughts about oneself.<\/p>\n

KEY DIFFERENCES<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Children with autism often do not naturally seek social interaction<\/strong>, not because they feel sad, but because they may not know how to communicate or may not feel the need to engage socially.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    People with depression once had the ability to connect with others<\/strong>, but due to emotional exhaustion and loss of hope, they gradually withdraw from social interactions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
