Autism is one the most common childhood disorder, considered a developmental disorder caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that manifests with difficulties in social interaction, reduced ability to create and sustain relationships, repetitive and restricted movements and rigid mental thinking.
Autism is often diagnosed during early childhood, generally by the age of two, although an individual can be diagnosed with autism at any age.
Symptoms generally develop gradually, and research has shown that children who are provided with the proper help tend to have a better outcome and are able to have a greater amount of independence in adulthood.
