Prompt Title: "Ahaan's Autism Discovery"

PSYCHOLOGIST: Good morning, dear parents. I welcome you all to this workshop on autism. Today, we are going to talk about what autism is and how it affects children.

Random Parent: But what exactly is autism?

PSYCHOLOGIST: Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a developmental disability that is caused by differences in the brain. It affects a child's ability to communicate, socialize, and behave in typical ways.

Random Parent: What are the causes of autism?

PSYCHOLOGIST: The exact causes of autism are still unknown. However, it is believed that rare gene changes or genetic mutations may play a role. Environmental risk factors before or after pregnancy, such as exposure to toxins, infections, or medications, may also be contributing factors.

PSYCHOLOGIST: Now, let's talk about the symptoms of autism in a child. Some common early signs of autism include a dislike of loud noises, trouble making eye contact with others, unusual sensitivity to sensory issues, difficulty in social communication and interactions, repeating words or actions while communicating, learning disabilities such as confusion with words and letters, a preference for playing alone, and hyperactivity.

PSYCHOLOGIST: Unfortunately, there is no known cure for autism. However, early recognition and intervention through behavioral, educational, and family therapies can help reduce symptoms and support development and learning in children with autism. It is important to be patient with your child and treat them with kindness, avoiding pressure.

PSYCHOLOGIST: So, parents, that was all for this workshop. I hope you have gained a better understanding of autism and how it can affect children. Let's make this knowledge a mass movement by sharing it with three other parents. Remember, "Be the spark that ignites change. Share the power of knowledge with three parents."

Narrator: The workshop ends with the parents expressing their gratitude to the psychologist for the valuable information and insights on autism. They leave the workshop with a better understanding of autism and a determination to spread awareness and support other parents who may have children with autism. The students who had brought Ahaan and his parents to the workshop express their commitment to helping Ahaan and his family in any way possible. The scene ends with a hopeful atmosphere, as the parents and students take the first steps towards creating positive change in their community by raising awareness about autism.
