Autistic Disorder, often referred to as autism, is characterised as a Pervasive Developmental Disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Test Revision (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not officially defined in the DSM-IV-TR or in any other international classification code. According to Fombonne (2007), the prevalence of ASDs is now approximately 1 in 150 children.

Children diagnosed with autism are likely to show somecombination of impaired social behaviour, impaired communication, abnormal play behaviours, and repetitive self-stimulatory behaviours. They are also likely to show some behavours similar to those of children diagnosed with intellectual disabilities by scoring much below average on variety of self-care tasks, such as dressing, grooming, and feeding.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Ivar Lovaas developed behavioural tratments for children with autism. Using an approach he called early intensive behavioural internetion (EIBI), Lovaas (1966, 1977) focused on strategies to teach social behaviours,elimiate self-stimulatory behaviours, and develop language skills.
