Autism (Diagnosis and Treatment Methods)

Abstract

Autism is a disorder known for its seriousness, long duration, and need for long-term medical follow-up that may extend to a lifetime. In addition to its psychological and social effects that burden the autistic child and his family, causing them social pressures that prevent them from continuing to live in stable, normal conditions, especially since medicine has not yet been able to find a definitive and guaranteed treatment for this disorder. Autism is considered one of the most complex non-organic disorders facing all societies in the world, which has raised many questions and inquiries upon its discovery years ago until now about how it is contracted, its causes, manifestations and ways to deal with it. The Arab community has begun to pay attention to it through introductory seminars and conferences in which many interested people participated. From here, we address autism in an attempt to alleviate the pain of the autistic child. I wanted this research to be a window through which the family can look out onto the mysterious world of autism, by drawing a general picture of autism disorder and its mysterious causes. Some scientific methods used in both diagnosis and treatment have also been included
