INTRODUCTION
Health and social care have been defined as the services as well as facilities which are
rendered by social and health care providers for all people living in world, especially in United
Kingdom. Such term can be applied to an entire health care provision, required infrastructure and
related private sectors (Tick and et.al., 2016). The practitioners involve in such field delivers
initial to complex support for making the patients status improved and their condition more
stable. They believe in forming a close relationship among medical doctors and patients for
ensuring the quality and integrated care needs are fulfilled. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has
refereed to a developmental syndrome which influences the manner in which people behave and
interact. However, autism diagnosis is not associated with age, rather it is a developmental issue
due to which the signs comes out during first two year of life. The individuals working for
providing health care must have strong interactive as well as social skills so that they can operate
and function fine with patients who may be suffering from autism.

1.1 Analyse the defining features of autistic spectrum conditions and the impact on practice
Children and young people who are suffering from autism have trouble while interacting
with another individuals. They may seems to have a complex interest in some weird or unique
objects, for instance they may show and work with their toys in some what more unusual way
when compared with other children (Strati and et.al., 2017). The victims of such disorder face
from the condition of sameness, they love to repeat same things over and over again. Thus, they
do not like to change their schedule a little and face issues when their clothes, care providers,
food or any part of the surrounding has been altered or modified. Such practice may some times
hamper the care givers to deliver their best practices and services at the same time. The people
may be very good at one activity but face numerous problems while dealing some other activity,
which may result in making them aggressive and short tempered. Due to such behaviour, health
givers can not concentrate on a single issue and have to deal with their temper while making
their mental state better.
