An Impending Autism Spectrum Disorder and Various Approaches to Improve the Condition

Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder and is clinically defined by the deficits in communication, social skills and repetitive and/or restrictive interests and behaviours. It is a widespread disorder with no known etiology and pathogenesis and no proper pharmacological approach. Pharmacological treatment can bring down the symptoms to a little extent when compared to the non pharmacological treatment which includes few therapies to improve the core symptoms of autism. This study aims to determine the knowledge about ASD, the prevalence rate, the brain of an autistic patient when compared to a neurotypical brain, genetic and environmental factors assumed to be responsible for it commonly prescribed medicines, their side effects as well as evaluate the impact of non pharmacological therapy on Autism. It is revealed that children with ASD who aggressively take non-pharmacological therapies show a significant improvement in symptoms.
