Translational and Clinical Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person perceives and interacts with others, leading to problems in social interaction and communication. Limited and repetitive patterns of conduct are also part of the disorder. While autism is a lifelong disease, the extent to which these challenges limit a person's capacity to function varies from person to person. The term 'spectrum disorders' signifies the wide variety of symptoms and severity associated with autism. Genetic factors are primarily the reason for the disorder's occurrence. ASD appears early in childhood and is related to social, scholastic, and occupational challenges. Autism signs appear as early as the first year of life. Some of the complications linked with the disease include difficulties in school and successful learning, work issues, inability to live independently, social isolation, and family stress. This book is a collection of translational and clinical researches on autism. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about autism spectrum disorders.
