    Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain, which can be genetic or environmental. Signs in young children include lack of response to name, avoiding eye contact, repetitive movements, and less talking than peers. The main objectives for dental treatment of patients with ASD should be to transform the clinic into a less aggressive environment, establish clear communication strategies, use simple language as they are literal thinkers, maintain a calm voice with detailed explanations, incorporate teaching skills, avoid triggers for inappropriate behaviors, and allow for decreased light stimulation using sunglasses.
