Adharsh Gajendran*, Krithika Sanjeev, Manan Shah

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behaviour of individuals. ASD is typically diagnosed in early childhood, and symptoms persist throughout the individual's life. While there is no cure for ASD, various therapies and interventions have been developed to help individuals with ASD manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Virtual Reality (VR) is a relatively new technology that has shown promise in the treatment of ASD. Several studies have been conducted to investigate the use of VR as a therapeutic tool for individuals with ASD. In this comprehensive review we have discussed the application of VR technology in ASD and a brief discussion on the various clinical studies that have been conducted using VR technology for ASD focusing on social, emotional, communication and vocational skill training for children within the age group of 7-18 years and also the efficiency of the clinical trials conducted.
