Dr Sathiya Ganesan’s
Autism is not a disability, it’s a different ability — with understanding and care, every child can soar high.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 100 children according to World Health Organization. They are characterized by some difficulty in social interaction and communication. Early interventions and individualized support can open doors to remarkable growth in children with ASD.
At Dr. Sathiya Ganesan’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Center, we are dedicated to guiding children and families through a compassionate and evidence-based journey towards thriving futures.
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Different, Not Less — Every Child Deserves to Shine.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, behavior, and learning. The spectrum is broad — each child with autism presents a unique set of strengths and challenges. With early identification, structured support, and a nurturing environment, children with ASD can achieve significant developmental milestones and lead fulfilling lives.
Common Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Children with ASD may show:
- Difficulties with social communication (unable to make eye contact, not responding to name calling, difficulty conversing and difficulty understanding emotions)
- Prefers to play alone or difficulty engaging with peers
- Have repetitive behaviors or specific routines
- Intense focus on particular interests
- Sensory sensitivities (to lights, sounds, textures)
- Delayed language development
Recognizing these signs early is crucial for timely support and intervention.
Comprehensive, Child-Centered Evaluation
Every child is thoroughly assessed through detailed clinical interviews, developmental history, standardized diagnostic tools, observation sessions, and parent feedback. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan ensures a sensitive, multi-disciplinary evaluation to understand each child’s unique profile and needs.
Guiding Families
We provide a range of evidence-based therapies, customized to each child’s needs:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy
- Speech and Language Therapy
- Social Skills Training
- Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration Therapy
- Behaviour therapy
Therapies are goal-oriented, nurturing independence, communication, and social adaptation.
Thoughtful Medication Management for Holistic Growth
In some cases, medications may be used judiciously to address associated symptoms like severe irritability, anxiety, attention deficits, or hyperactivity but not for the core symptoms of ASD. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan ensures minimal use, careful monitoring, and collaborative discussions with families to prioritize safety and holistic well-being.
Building Healthy Routines for Mind-Body Balance
Structured routines, sleep optimization, healthy nutrition, diet advise and early intervention practices play an important role in Autism care. We guide families in designing supportive home environments and daily practices that enhance emotional regulation, cognitive functioning, and physical wellness.
Integrated Care for Associated Emotional and Learning Challenges
Many children with Autism also face challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, or learning disorders. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan offers integrated management plans that address all co-existing conditions, ensuring seamless, comprehensive care under one roof.

At what age can Autism be diagnosed?
Autism can often be reliably diagnosed by 18 to 24 months of age. Early signs can sometimes be observed even earlier. Early intervention makes a significant difference.
What therapies are most effective for Autism?
A combination of therapies — including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Social Skills Training — are typically most effective when tailored to the child’s unique needs.
Does every child with Autism need medication?
No. Medication is considered only if there are significant associated symptoms such as severe anxiety, hyperactivity, irritability, or aggression that hinder daily life activities.
Can Autism be cured?
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. However, with early, structured, and supportive intervention, children can achieve significant growth in communication, social skills, and independence.
How can parents support a child with Autism at home?
Consistent routines, positive reinforcement, patience, and involvement in therapy goals at home can greatly support a child’s progress. Parent training is an essential part of care.
Are group therapies useful for Autism?
Yes. Group therapies, especially social skills groups, can help children with Autism practice interaction in a structured and supportive setting.
Is sensory sensitivity common in Autism?
Yes. Many children with Autism are sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, or touch. Occupational and sensory integration therapies help children manage these sensitivities.
