What is Autism?
Autism is one of the most commonly diagnosed developmental disabilities in children. It is a spectrum disorder that appears early in life, generally before the age of three. This spectrum disorder ranges from a severe form (called autistic disorder) to a milder form (Asperger Syndrome or High Functioning Autism). Children with autism have problems with social interaction, communication, imagination and behavior. Autistic traits persist into adulthood, but vary in severity. Some adults with autism function well, earning college degrees and living independently. Others never develop the skills of daily living, and may be incorrectly diagnosed with a variety of psychiatric illnesses. Even today with all the medical advancements in our society, the cause is unknown.
To learn more about this disorder, please read visit our Autism Information page.
All children with ASD demonstrate deficits in
- social interaction,
- verbal and nonverbal communication,
- repetitive behaviors or interests.
