description:  Helping Autistic Adults-Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments For Adults With Autism   Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental disability, which affects 1 in 68 people in the United States. Men are four times more prone to develop ASD than women; however, studies have shown that women with autism are more severely affected. Signs and symptoms of autism usually occur within the first three years of a person’s life, but some parents fail to notice some of these indications and others may have chose to ignore the issue.  Autism affects a person’s social and communication skills. Because of this, some parents will often overlook these signs and symptoms and simply think of them as a sign of slow growth and development. Because of this, some people will grow up not knowing that they have the disorder. Such people may know themselves that they experience specific difficulties and will seek for an explanation for these.
