Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a multifaceted developmental condition characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors. With a global prevalence of 1 in 100 children, ASD diagnosis reveals disparities across demographics, necessitating targeted awareness. Genetic complexities, underscored by de novo mutations and specific gene involvement, contribute to ASDs etiology. Clinical manifestations encompass communication challenges, social interaction deficits, and repetitive behaviors, warranting early identification. Management strategies encompass pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach. This concise exploration calls for heightened research and awareness to enhance the understanding and management of ASD.
