Children with neurodevelopmental disorders are increasing gradually every year. One in 100 children are diagnosed with brain function disorder. There are wide categories of disorder such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, learning, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), etc. In this work, the focus is on ASD, its clinical methods, and analysis in various research works. ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder which affects the intellectual functioning, social interaction (adaptive behavior), and has a specific obsessive interest. At present, there is no known cure for ASD, but the level of the pathological condition can be reduced when it is detected early. Early detection is tough and challenging till date. Many researches were carried out to ease the early detection for clinicians. Each method has its own merits and demerits. This chapter reviews and condenses various research works and their efficacy in analysis for the early diagnosis and improvement in children with autism.

Objective: To qualitatively explore community, family, and health care system barriers to early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Study Design: A phenomenological qualitative approach was used to explore mothers' experiences of receiving ASD diagnosis for their children. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Autism Resource Centre Islamabad, from March 2018 to August 2018. Materials and Methods: In-depth qualitative interviews of eight mothers of children diagnosed with ASD, who were above 36 months of age. Results: Using thematic analysis, three major themes were identified as barriers in reaching ASD diagnosis i.e. parent's lack of knowledge and misperceptions of ASD; health care system issues like undefined pathway to care, dissatisfaction with medical or associated professionals, delays due to structural and process barriers; and family factors such as stigma around mental health and disability, family denial and financial constraints. Conclusion: Additional educational outreach to families, de-stigmatization of ASD, streamlining the ASD diagnostic process, and providing additional support to parents of at-risk children may decrease delays in ASD diagnosis among children.
