2. Problem Introduction
• Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that appears in the first three years of
life. This disorder has a large spectrum and affects the normal developmental of
communication and social skills.
• Communication is a key part of functioning in society. Those on the low functioning
end of the Autism Disorder Spectrum (ADS) have difficulty communicating their wants
and needs and this leaves them vulnerable and unsatisfied. The autism disorder is
becoming more of a global issue, now affecting one in eighty-eight people. This is the
issue we are trying to alleviate through technological means.
• The main reason our group chose this problem to tackle is because of how reasonable
the problem is, how well known it is, and how prevalent it is. The problem is reasonable
enough that one can make an effort to solve it. The problem is well known throughout
the world. Nearly everyone knows someone who is autistic or knows a person with
relations to someone with autism. Lastly autism is very prevalent. Autism has increased
more than 600% in the past few decades.
