Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of five developmental disorders, it is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the ability of the person to socialize, communicate along with stereotype behaviours. ASD can affect any person irrespective of the gender, caste, creed or religion. Intervention means doing something, taking action or using a treatment to try to improve a particular condition or a problem. When it comes to ASD, there are many kinds of interventions offered. Depending on the type, they can involve the child, the parent or both. They might be one-off events or involve many sessions spread over years. Interventions are based on different theories about what causes ASD.
