Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes a set of neurodevelopmental disorders. Despite extensive ASD research lasting more than 60 years, its causes are still unknown. Without indicating the etiology, its development cannot be stopped. Over the years, both the definition and diagnostic criteria have developed. The number of ASD incidence is rising. The economical aspect should also be highlighted. This disorder presents particular challenges to affected children, their parents and physicians. The research of ASD, physician activities, policy making and raising the level of awareness must be coordinated. Special attention should be paid to the problem among adults with ASD.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）描述了一组神经发育障碍。尽管对 ASD 的研究已经持续了 60 多年，但它的病因仍不清楚。如果不指明病因，就无法阻止其发展。多年来，其定义和诊断标准都在不断发展。ASD 的发病率也在不断上升。其经济方面也应该得到强调。这种疾病给受影响的儿童、他们的父母和医生带来了特殊的挑战。ASD 的研究、医生的活动、决策制定和提高认识水平必须协调一致。应特别关注自闭症成年人的问题。
