Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopment disorder that deals with the antisocial behavior of the patient, verbal or nonverbal communication in first three year of birth, with lack of emotional understanding of patient as well as other and also do not point toward thing patient wants. Person suffering from ASD also suffer with seizures and half epileptic seizures as well. The patient also has Restricted, repetitive behavior, interests, or activities. The study for ASD describes that there are three type of ASD • Rett syndrome • Asperger's Syndrome. • Pervasive Development Disorder. The etiology explains that ASD is not single disorder it comes with multiple functional disorder. Single gene mutation also responsible for development disorder as well . Development disorder due to single gene mutation the X chromosome become very fragile and leads to various number of brain and development disorders. In diagnosis which doctor depend upon the behaviors of the patient, the patient does not make any eye contact and some associated behavior also include repetitive behavior, hand flapping. The major due to ASD is epileptic attack because of loss of white matter in brain.
