Soham, a cute little boy aged 6 years appears smart, affectionate
and confident like most boys of his age do. After spending some time
with Soham, you’d probably notice he’s a little different from a
“typical” six year old but his smile alone wouldn’t give anything
away. When you delve deeper you realize that he finds social
interaction challenging and it is difficult for him to communicate
verbally and even non-verbally. There are times when he behaves in
a stereotyped manner and shows loss of interest in day to day
activities. Soham suffers from what medical science has termed as
“Autism Spectrum Disorder”. His is a journey of hope against
despair. And yes, there is HOPE.

This special issue of PHYSIOTIMES focuses on Autism and is an
attempt to look at the condition and its management from a holistic
perspective and how a multi disciplinary team of health care
professionals through a myriad of interventions can assist children
with ASDs and their parents and family members in coping with it.
