Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in youngsters. The age-based classification of ASD is inaccurate, as it often includes stereotypical behavior and hindered social communication. The illness is thought to be caused by a complex interplay of environmental, genetic, and epigenetic variables that lead to cerebral dysfunction. As the global prevalence of ASD exceeds 1%, governments, schools, and healthcare professionals are developing solutions to address this complex illness. Children with low school performance, bad behaviors, speech difficulties, or developmental delays require ongoing monitoring. Using a systematic technique makes it easy to evaluate a youngster with probable ASD. Early intervention improves social communication, imitation, and cognitive performance. This study examines the epidemiology, etiology, social-economic effects, and existing techniques for diagnosing and managing ASD. This paper outlines future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for ASD.
