Special Issue on Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurologically-based developmental disability that affects social interaction, communication, interests and behaviour. It includes autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), Rett's disorder, and childhood disintegrative disorder. The signs of ASD typically start to develop in childhood.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Autism Spectrum Disorder. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Autistic disorder
• Childhood disintegrative disorder
• Asperger's disorder
• Autism symptoms
• ASD and vaccines
• ASD-related symptoms
• Autistic savantism

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Autism Spectrum Disorder” should be selected during your submission.
