Autism was first presented in 1943 by Leo Kanner while he was conducting a study on several children; he later described the children as having withdrawn behavior. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s suitable treatments used in behavioral therapy focused on drugs such as LSD and electric shock as a form of pain and punishment (WebMD Medical Reference, 2014). Tens of millions of people have been diagnosed with autism worldwide, affecting both genders, all races, ethnicities, and people of all socioeconomic classes. In 2010, a surveillance summary was conducted in the United States, where it was found that one in 68 children is diagnosed with autism (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). It was recognized in this study that autism is more likely to be identified in males, where one in 42 is diagnosed, compared to females, where one in 189 is diagnosed. A study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, presents comprehensive evidence that proposes that for females to develop neurodevelopmental disorders, a more extreme genetic mutation in the genome would have to occur, while males do not need such an extreme mutation to occur to develop neurodevelopmental disorders. The process that occurs is known as the female protective pattern. The study identified that diagnosed females have an excess of deleterious autosomal copy number variants or CNVs and deleterious private single nucleotide variants or SNVs, so do diagnosed males (Jacquemont et al, 2014). Arguing that the female brain requires a more extreme genetic mutation than the male brain for autism to occur, which focuses on the X chromosome as the genetic basis, instead deals with a difference in the genome (Autism Speaks, 2014). . half of the article ...... types of treatments available for autistic patients, for example, applied behavior analysis, Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI), Pivotal Response Training (PRT) and Brain Intervention verbal behavior (VBI). Other therapeutic treatment programs available include occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy, and speech therapy. Although some dietary treatments have been developed by therapists, many are not scientifically supported because this treatment might positively affect one child but have no effect on another. Dietary treatments are used to eliminate certain ingredients or incorporate them into a child's diet in order to make a difference in the child's autistic behavior. While there is still much to learn about ASD, research has increased to gain a better understanding of ASD. all aspects of autism.
