What is Autism?
Autism and related disabilities are severely handicapping, neurological disorders which begin at birth or by age 3 and affect multiple areas of development. They are developmental disabilities that typically involve delays and impairment in social skills, language, and behavior. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it affects people differently.
