Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges with social contact and communication and limited, repetitive patterns of activity. Primary behavioral symptoms include difficulties with reciprocal social engagement, impaired communication, and limited and repetitive actions and interests. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) cannot be cured but could be managed by pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Leo Kanner published the first systematic description in 1943 as “early infantile autism”. The first person to formally diagnosed with ASD is Donald Triplet in 1943.
The thesis delves into the recent advancements and key aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the ways of developing care for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The aim was to clarify the main points of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to social and healthcare workers in order to provide compassionate care for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Literature review was performed as the method of the study. Twelve (N=12) articles were included from PubMed, Cinahl Complete and Science Direct. The data was analyzed by using inductive content analysis. The partner organization of this thesis work is Savonia University of Applied Sciences.
The results of the study showed that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which affects a wide range of people, is typified by confined, repetitive activities and deficiencies in social interaction. The basis for diagnosis is behavioral observation, which is frequently assisted by trained specialists and diagnostic instruments like ADOS and STAT. Medication and behavioral therapies are available for treatment, and although autism spectrum disorders are not universally common, rising awareness and evolving diagnostic standards have led to an increase in their incidence. ASD is largely influenced by environmental and genetic factors, with complicated genetic components and hereditary risk. Early detection and intervention are essential, requiring diagnostic instruments and resolving issues, such as some people's delayed diagnosis. The effects of ASD on families highlight the value of coping strategies and support systems, with socioeconomic considerations affecting early detection. The provision of individualized treatment and therapy for individuals with ASD is mostly dependent on healthcare professionals, who emphasize the need of having the necessary experience and adequate communication in healthcare settings.
The results of this thesis could benefit the social and healthcare workers, enabling them to provide compassionate care for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during practice. It is necessary to conduct additional research on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a particular focus on early detection, innovative therapies, family support, and increasing the effectiveness of healthcare professionals.
