      ab: The article focuses on the importance of structured autism education for medical undergraduates to effectively diagnose and manage Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It highlights the implementation of a 36-hour Autism Intervention Module (AIM) within the third-year MBBS curriculum, which combined interactive sessions and experiential learning, including caregiver engagement and virtual home visits. Feedback from students indicated that this hands-on approach significantly enhanced their understanding of autism and the challenges faced by families, emphasizing the necessity of early diagnosis and intervention. The article concludes that integrating comprehensive autism education throughout medical training is essential for preparing future doctors to provide compassionate and effective care for autistic individuals and their families.
