Summary:Autism is not a specific disease but rather a personality disorder. It is a disorder of brain development. Because of qualitative & quantitative variations in symptoms ‘autism’ is referred to as ‘Autism Spectrum Disorder’. Our understanding of the spectrum, etiology, diagnosis and management of ASD in children has changed dramatically throughout the past two decades. Early diagnosis has become increasingly important as recent studies have shown improved outcome with implementation of early, consistent & appropriate international strategies that have been individually tailored to the needs of the child and its parents.
