Understanding Autism
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically appears during the first three years of life and lasts throughout a person’s lifetime. It is a spectrum disorder with a wide range of characteristics ranging from mild to severe. Individuals with autism demonstrate difficulties in social interaction, communication, and behavior. Each person will display communication, social, and behavioral patters that are unique to the individual but fit into the overall diagnosis of ASD. People with autism also process and respond to information in unique ways. For more complete information visit the Autism Society of America.
