I have found them to be some of the sweetest, most innocent children. I hope this page will help you to learn more about this condition and about some of the laws that protect a child's right to education. I chose the links that I did because I believe that they are very informative and will give you a general overview of this disability. Autism is more prevelant in boys than in girls and is found in 15 out of every 10,000 children. It is the third most prevelant developmental disabilty, passing Down's Syndrome.
Autism affects the child's reasoning, social interaction, and communication skills.
Children with autism can be have many different symptoms, and although there is no cure for this disorder, some of these symptoms may be treated. This information has all come from the Autism Society of America's web site. I like them both very much and think they are very informative. One was written by a parent whose child has autism, and the other is the Broome and Tioga chapter of the Autism Society of America. I have included this site because it is located in New York which is where I am from.
