Abstract—Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a brain development disorder caused due to abnormal functioning of brain impacting development activities. Different traditional techniques and methods have been used to communicate with ASD person. Researchers and developers have come up with different innovative ideas to aid ASD patients to communicate with others. As ASD people do not communicate properly so requirement engineers face challenges while gathering requirements from them. This paper focuses on the challenges faced during the requirement elicitation process. As challenges are discussed we have proposed a solution to overcome these problems.
