| description | This study explores the intersection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), climate change, and renewable energy solutions. In the face of escalating global concerns such as climate change, understanding its broad-reaching impacts is more crucial than ever, particularly for vulnerable populations such as individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Individuals with autism often exhibit unique sensory sensitivities and a preference for rigid routines, which can be severely disrupted by the environmental impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions. This study delves into how the environmental changes brought on by climate change affect those with autism, with a focus on sensory sensitivities and the disruption of daily routines. Additionally, the paper explores the potential of renewable energy solutions not only to address these environmental impacts but also to provide economic relief for affected families. The importance of this research lies in its potential to guide effective adaptations in homes and policies to better support individuals with ASD amid climate challenges. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the specific effects of climate change on individuals with ASD and to evaluate how transitioning to renewable energy can mitigate these effects, offering both environmental and economic benefits. |
