Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have increased tenfold over the past fifty years. These disorders include: autistic disorder, Asperger disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) (Johnson & Myers, 1184). Symptoms of ASD are language delay, severe deficits in social skills, and repetitive behavioral patterns. These symptoms make it hard for children with ASD to form peer relationships, communicate effectively, and develop appropriately (Johnson, 1191-1194).
