Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder is considered one of the disorders that has puzzled scientists and made them reconsider many matters, due to the difficulty of explaining it and proving the causes and factors for its occurrence, in addition to being one of the disorders that have no cure in all types of treatments. This study aimed to try to study and identify the most important Indicators that indicate intractable disorders, and the extent to which these indicators match the characteristics of autism spectrum disorder. To achieve the purpose of the study, the descriptive approach was relied upon, which relies on the survey method in collecting data. The study tool was used, which is a questionnaire on indicators that indicate incurable diseases, and the extent of their correspondence. On autism spectrum disorder, this questionnaire was applied to a sample of 264 participants, including specialists (psychologists, psychologists, educators), and academic researchers (university professors) from various regions of the country, and it was concluded that the indicators of incurable diseases confirm their correspondence with the characteristics of autism spectrum disorder. To a large extent, this confirms that this disorder is considered one of the incurable disorders, and the future of those suffering from it remains subject to unraveling the mystery.
