| Abstract | ||||
| Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are common neurodevelopmental disorders that affect the social, communicative, and behavioral growth of children and adolescents. Individuals with ASD display difficulties in social interaction, language communication, and exhibit restricted and repetitive patterns of interests and activities. Children and adolescents on the autism spectrum also struggle with adapting to change, understanding emotions, and social cues. ASD is a complex phenomenon, with individuals varying in the severity of symptoms and challenges they face. Some may experience significant difficulties that impact their daily lives, requiring intensive support and care, while others may have milder difficulties and possess specific skills and abilities.ASD also has a significant impact on the mental health of those affected, as individuals with ASD may experience depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Many children and adolescents on the autism spectrum struggle with perceiving and expressing emotions, leading to dissatisfaction and emotional disturbance in some cases.Research indicates that early support and appropriate intervention can improve outcomes for children and adolescents with ASD. Treatment should include behavior, communication, and social interaction training, as well as support for learning and adapting to the surrounding environment. Dealing with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum requires a deep understanding of their challenges and providing an encouraging and supportive school and social environment to enhance their growth and development.In general, there is a need for increased awareness about ASD and the provision of necessary support and resources for children and adolescents with ASD. Promoting societal understanding and acceptance of these individuals and creating an inclusive and empathetic environment will help them integrate into society and achieve their full potential. | ||||
