Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social, behavioral, and learning challenges. Individuals with autism and their families often struggle to get an appropriate diagnosis and continuation of specialty services, including general healthcare, mental health and transition services, special education, employment, and social and emotional support. This paper presents information about the current policies and support mechanisms that exist to help these individuals and their families. This paper identifies the gaps and recommends areas of improvement based on evidence-based research and current data. ASD is a lifelong disability without a cure, but by constructing robust policies and providing enhanced support, the quality of lives of those with ASD and their families can be improved.
