INTRODUCTION
Evidence based practice include providing the study or the material with support of the suitable
evidence and the proof of stating data and information (Song and So, 2021). Evidence based practice
deeply involve use of the factual information that can be supported with the use of the right evidence in
the study executed. The major emphasis of the evidence based study is over providing the proof related
to data and information that is used to execute the entire study. Evidence based study majorly focuses
over providing the key facts and factual details that can be supported with the use of reliable and
relevant evidence and proof to support the information submitted in the study. Evidence based study is
more factual and proof oriented and also provide the reader the quality information due to the data
collected and information arranged to conduct the entire study. The current study is based on the topic
area that is Autism spectrum disorder. Articles will be analyses in this study over the study area.
Critical basis of the study executed and conducted over the article that are collected by the scholar to
present the finding of the study. Furthermore, this report will also discuss various aspects of the
methodologies that are used in the study. This involves the type of study, approach that has been taken
to execute the whole study. The method or technique used to execute the sampling practice will also
discuss in this project. Ethical consideration will be presented that are become a part of the study.
Limitations and finding of the study will present. In the end recommendations will also provide based
on the finding of the study executed.
1.2 Importance of research in health and social care
The present report is based upon the challenges of caring for an individual with Autism and this

is consider an important part in health and social care because it assist to improve the health outcomes
and this in turn contribute to improve the quality of life as well. Further, it can be stated that by
analysing the challenges pertaining to people suffering from autism analysed and provide reviews to
the same (Spain and et.al., 2021). Also, study determine the ways through which they can ensure about
the people and provide better care as well. In addition to this, the study will be communicating
effectively with individuals, group and organisation so that effective decision can be produced in a well
manner. Thus, it can be stated that the study will be contribute to understand the issue and derive better
solution for the welfare of a public.
1.3 Presenting qualitative and quantitative research
Quantitative research:
This research assist to analyse the result with the help of statistics in order to get unbiased
result. So, providing reliable outcome by conducting primary research will help to get answer of
research questions. The answer generated by the researcher are easy to understand and explained as
well (Lunsky and et.al., 2021). The outcome presented under quantitative study always in a numerical
form and many scholars also analyse outcome of previous research in order to prove the hypothesis.
Another characteristic of quantitative research is such that the outcome of quantitative research can be
used multiple times and sometimes, researcher also make a use of research for similar research problem
which reduces wastage of time.
In addition to this, when scholar uses this method, then data collection instruments include
questionnaire, polls and survey that ensure about accuracy and reliability. Thus, it can be stated that
with the help of this research type, different analysis software will be used which provide best outcome
without any unbiased result. The results will be automatically generated by using software and this
understand to organise the table, charts in an effective manner. That is why, it can be stated that with
the help of quantitative study, scholar will analyse the results in an effective manner by presenting the
conclusion effectively.
Qualitative research:
Qualitative research is completely relied on collecting non-numerical data by using different
methods in order to answer the research questions. So, researcher give more importance to concept
over figures and number. Here, researcher plays an important role because they choose the research
methods and also make a plan more effective in order to meet the defined aim. It is si because
researcher make the right observation and engage participants in a study to answer the research
questions (11 characteristic of qualitative research, 2022). In addition to this, research is also beneficial
