Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention.

Detailed explanation-2: -A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin, and guided to the heart using imaging techniques. A mesh patch or plug is passed through the catheter and used to close the hole. Heart tissue grows around the seal, permanently closing the hole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Patients with autism have a lower hygiene level but a comparable caries index compared with patients without autism (1, 4). Poor oral hygiene and periodontal problems could be related to irregular brushing habits resulting from the difficulties encountered by trainers and parents while brushing these children’s teeth.

Detailed explanation-4: -No cure exists for autism spectrum disorder, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. The goal of treatment is to maximize your child’s ability to function by reducing autism spectrum disorder symptoms and supporting development and learning.
