Developmental Challenges and Their Impact on the Behavioural Patterns of Children with Autism

Abstract

The incidence of autism spectrum disorder is strikingly high among contemporary generations, with current estimates indicating that in India, approximately 1 in every 68 children is affected by this condition, highlighting a significant public health concern that warrants immediate attention. Children diagnosed with autism endure a multitude of developmental obstacles that not only impede their overall growth and learning but also lead to significant developmental delays, thereby resulting in a variety of behavioral challenges that are commonly observed within this unique population.
