Abstract

This case review explores the journey of Alex (not his real name) and his parents as they navigate the challenges of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and management. Initially, the child’s parents sought professional guidance due to Alex’s difficulties in social interactions and communication. A comprehensive evaluation confirmed his diagnosis using standardized assessment tools. The family embarked on understanding and managing Alex’s unique needs, particularly within educational therapy. Utilizing a 7-step case management system, the author of this paper delves into the experiences, challenges, and successes encountered by the child and his parents throughout the process.
