Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by pervasive deficits in social interaction, impairment in verbal and non-verbal communication, and stereotypical patterns of interests and activities. ASD can be extremely costly to society at large and the individuals and families involved, constituting one of the most perplexing challenges in child development and education.
