In the given file about Ali, some symptoms and behaviors include features that can be associated

with Asperger's disorder. However, since Asperger's syndrome is considered under the umbrella term of

autism, the diagnosis can be evaluated as an autism spectrum disorder. Consequently, the appropriate

symptoms for this diagnosis may include social interaction difficulties such as standing still in the room,

not speaking, obsessive-like symptoms such as the need for lights to be on, spending excessive time in the

shower and bathroom, sticking to fixed routines, and significant sleep problems, which lead to the

consideration of autism. We can consider possible diagnoses as anxiety and depression. The presence of

obsessive symptoms may contribute to anxiety, while early experiences like the trauma with the nanny,

interactions with the family, and thoughts of death can lead to depression.

While establishing a definitive forecast regarding Ali's position is difficult, based on the facts

supplied, it is possible that beneficial improvements will emerge during the therapy process. In the early

stages, Ali's emotional condition can be improved by improved communication and understanding within

the family. The treatment plan's positive-focused aims and therapy strategies can help Ali comprehend

and express his emotional world. However, given Ali's history of trauma and family dynamics, ongoing

treatment and expert assistance are essential. The therapy process, family engagement, and Ali's own

efforts will all have an impact on Ali's future life. The family must be more sensitive to Ali's emotional

needs and give assistance. Ali's work with the therapist can help him develop healthier relationships,

attain emotional balance, and achieve personal objectives in the future.

Ali's predicament is influenced by complex family dynamics, domineering parents, and his

background. It is critical to concentrate on family control dynamics, increasing parental duties, and

ensuring that the family works together. "Iceberg" approaches can assist in comprehending the profound

emotional ramifications underlying Ali's actions. As a future psychologist, I hope to use a sympathetic

and individualized approach, emphasizing that each individual is unique and that each treatment plan

should be personalized.
