Question: What is the impacts of Autism spectrum disorders towards an individual in term of social and economic?
Answer: ASDs may significantly limit the capacity of an individual to conduct daily activities and participate in society. ASDs often negatively influence the person’s educational and social attainments as well as employment opportunities.
While some individuals with ASD are able to live independently, others have severe disabilities and require life-long care and support.
ASDs often impose significant emotional and economic burden on people with these disorders and their families. Caring for children with a severe form of the condition may be demanding, especially where access to services and support are inadequate. Therefore the empowerment of caregivers is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of care for children with ASD.
