Performance Eligibility of Individuals with Autism – A Comparative Study

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition related to brain development that affects how a person recognizes and interacts with others socially. The term "autism spectrum disorder" refers to a wide range of symptoms and levels of severity. It is also considered a complex disease because its causes are unknown and may be psychological, genetic, or biological. Autistic individuals are in need of protection, and the law is capable of providing this protection, both at the international and local levels. Autism is a disease that affects the mind, requiring someone to manage their affairs and conclude legal transactions on their behalf if they are severely autistic. In mild or mild autism, the autistic person can be self-sufficient and does not require assistance from others. Autistic individuals are considered to have special needs, requiring legal protection, both in the context of exercising their duties and rights in their social lives.

Scientific research and specialized physicians are still unable to pinpoint the exact cause of autism. Humans remain trapped by this condition, whose causes are largely unknown. While some studies suggest a genetic component, others point to psychological and social factors. Biological or environmental factors are also considered contributing to the emergence of unusual diseases. The precise cause of autism remains unclear. Studies have identified three distinct levels or degrees of autism. Level 1 individuals experience relatively mild symptoms of the autism spectrum and require minimal support in daily life. Level 2 individuals experience moderate symptoms and require moderate support. Level 3 individuals experience severe symptoms and require significant support in daily life.
