These social impairments are basic barriers to living with other people and adjusting themselves to circumstances. In this respect, nurses should help autistic children effectively by applying nursing process.
First, social skills and pathological behaviors have to be measured qualitatively and quantitatively. Second the clear nursing goal has to be set, then the plan for structuring routine and special activity, play priority, nursing delivery consistency has to be established. Also nurses have to plan for selection of toys, participation of family members. Third, effective intervention for these children has to be given with some consideration. It needs natural and slowly progressive approach according to optimal level of each child. Finally, nurses have to evaluate progress and feedback regularly with associate nurses and family.
