Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental illness marked by chronic difficulties with mutual social interaction and communication, as well as restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. ASD symptoms commonly appear in early childhood and can be identified by the age of 2 years. Early detection of ASD allows for better therapeutic interventions and management, which has been shown to lessen children's long-term intellectual, behavioral, and functional deficits while also improving family consequences. In the present review, we are focusing on important psychophysiological aspects of autism spectrum disorders.
