Abstract


Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that includes a range of difficulties with social communication, behavior and interaction. A family with an autistic child may notice significant differences in their interactions with others, social norms, family planning, career life, financial situation, and mental health. Social policy support is very important for families with preschool children with autism. This paper tries to make some suggestions on social policy support for families with autistic children.
