Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a type of disorder that appears in early childhood and is distinguished by qualitative abnormalities in social interactions. The disorder can also be characterized by impaired communication skills and restricted repetitive behaviors, activities and interests. As autism is a spectrum disorder, each autistic individual has a unique set of abilities and difficulties. The manner in which people with autism can think, learn and solve problems can range from severely impaired to highly skilled. Some people with ASD could need a lot of assistance in their daily lives, whereas others may require less assistance and in some circumstances they could even live independently. The behavioral treatments or interventions associated with autism can help both adults and children. These treatments can teach new abilities to adults and children in addressing their underlying weaknesses and reduce their core symptoms. This book elucidates the innovative models around prospective developments with respect to autism spectrum disorders. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge on this condition.
