Expert Solution
Step 1

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects the way a person interacts and communicates with others, and processes sensory information. It is called a "spectrum" disorder because it can affect individuals in different ways and to varying degrees. ASD is usually diagnosed in early childhood, and symptoms can include difficulties with social interaction, such as making eye contact, understanding social cues, and developing relationships. Individuals with ASD may also display repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, and difficulties with verbal and nonverbal communication.
