Autism Spectrum Disorders
The document discusses the history and characteristics of autism spectrum disorders. It describes how autism was initially identified by Eugen Bleuler and Leo Kanner in the early 20th century. Key characteristics mentioned include difficulties with social interactions and communication, as well as repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. The prevalence of autism is described as approximately 1 in 150 individuals, with boys being more likely to be affected than girls. Various teaching and behavior strategies are also summarized, such as using visual cues, structured environments, and applied behavior analysis.
