Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old.The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) also include related conditions such as Asperger syndrome that have milder signs and symptoms.
Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is not understood. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. Although early behavioral or cognitive intervention can help children gain self-care, social, and communication skills, there is no known cure.Few children with autism live independently after reaching adulthood, but some become successful,and an autistic culture has developed, with some seeking a cure and others believing that autism is a condition rather than a disorder.
