What is Autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a development disability that effects a person's ability to properly understand what they see, hear, and otherwise sense. ASD primarily affects communication. People with ASD typically have difficulty understanding verbal and nonverbal communication and learning appropriate ways of relation to people, objects, and events.
Autism spectrum disorders are the third most common developmental disability following mental retardation and epilepsy. Autism spectrum disorders occur in 1 of every 150 people. It is four times more prevalent in males than females. ASD occurs in all races and socioeconomic classes. Family income, lifestyle, or education do not affect whether or not a child will be born with ASD.
