    Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Causes:

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
    • Certain genetic variations may affect early brain development and increase the likelihood of ASD.
    • Advanced parental age has been associated with a slightly higher likelihood in some children.
    • There is no single known cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    Common Signs:

    • Delayed speech, language, or communication development.
    • Difficulty with social interaction and understanding social cues.
    • Repetitive behaviours or restricted patterns of interest.
    • Increased or reduced sensitivity to sounds, textures, lights, or touch.
    • Challenges adapting to changes in routines or everyday activities.

      Dr. Nikitish has been an absolute star through my recovery. Super switched on, soft spoken, and always completely on top of things. He actually remembers what we worked on last session, tracks progress properly, and comes in with a clear plan for what we need to focus on next — which makes every session feel purposeful, not random. Also, the entire team at Aquatherapy is genuinely warm, friendly, and professional. Great energy all around, and they make the whole rehab process way less painful than it should be. Highly recommend.

      Aqa Orthopaedic Clinic is staffed by an excellent, experienced, and highly professional team of Doctors. The level of care and attention given to patients is truly outstanding. The entire staff is warm, caring, and exceptionally helpful, making every visit comfortable and reassuring. Their expertise, dedication, and patient-focused approach create a very positive experience. I would highly recommend the clinic to anyone seeking quality orthopaedic care and therapy.

She is very experienced,knowledgeable, professional, and is playing a very important role in my rehabilitation programme.
