Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a diverse group of medical conditions which are characterized by difficulties in interacting and communicating socially. Other characteristics include atypical patterns of behavior and activity, like difficulty in paying attention to details, switching from one activity to another and odd responses to sensations. These issues in ASD affected people might range from minor to severe. The initial symptoms of this disorder can be detected by parents, caregivers or pediatricians, before a child turns one year old. However, symptoms usually develop and become more noticeable by the time the child reaches two or three years of age. The quality of life and well-being of autistic persons and their caregivers can benefit from evidence-based psychosocial therapies that enhance social skills and communication. This book attempts to understand the characteristics of autism spectrum disorders as well as the different interventions used for their management. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
