Abstract

While parents' and professionals’ perceptions regarding children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been studied extensively, limited data regarding the perspectives of children with ASD on their needs and the challenges they face are available. The study aimed to examine how children with ASD understand their condition and the aims of the interventions they undergo.
