What is Autism? - A short Introduction
Autism is part of a spectrum of developmental disability that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Autism also commonly referred to as autistic or autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Autism causes restricted and repetitive behavior, all starting before a child is three years old.
A 2005 review estimated a prevalence of 6.0-6.5 per 1,000 for ASD.
For people with autism, they see things differently. To them, the world may be just a mass of people, places and events which they struggle daily to figure out how they fit to. They need to use long time to figure out and make sense of new things they experience and which can cause them considerable anxiety.
There are certain symptoms of autism which are discussed in details here:
