The topic I choose for my final project is "Autism: Child and adolescent development concentration".  Children with autism need a comprehensive evaluation and specialized language services, behavioral, and educational programs. Some children with autism may also benefit from treatment with medication. Having a firsthand experience with the kids in the youth group when I have free time which is what prompted me to choose this topic.
