Autism Research: Understanding the Spectrum of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)

Early Signs and Prevalence of Autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social communication and interaction, as well as repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. Early signs of ASD can include difficulty making eye contact, problems with social interactions, and repetitive behaviors. ASD is a spectrum disorder, meaning that the symptoms and severity can vary widely from person to person.

Understanding Autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is now known as a range of conditions that includes individuals with varying degrees of difficulty in social interaction and communication, as well as restricted and repetitive interests and behaviors. Both terms, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism spectrum condition (ASC) are used interchangeably.

Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders (RASD) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes high-quality empirical articles and reviews that contribute to a better understanding of Autism, including its causes, diagnosis, assessment, intervention, and outcomes. The journal is committed to the dissemination of innovative research findings that have the potential to improve the lives of individuals with Autism and their families.
