Summary:Autism is a spectrum disorder specifically affecting the socializing and communication skills of human beings. As it is a spectrum disorder each person exhibits autism characteristics at different levels. The cause of autism in a child remains unknown and could be genetic or environmental based. Even though Autism has been recognized by the WHO and steps are being taken in different nations to improve the situation of autism, the perception of autism in people's minds is way different from the reality. Many factors showcase the condition of autism as totally different from what it is in real. The present paper studies the prevalence, progress, and acceptance of autism in Indian society through the administration of the AAS scale. The results show that good rate of acceptance of autistic people in terms of social circle however there is a dilemma in the inclusion of autistic people in the working projects and the mixed views of respondents give us the conclusion that there needs to be more awareness to be provided about autism to make them accepted freely in the society.
