Autism is a developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life.
The result of a neurological disorder that affects functioning of the brain, autism and its associated behaviors are reported to occur in as many as one in five hundred individuals. Autism is four times more prevalent in boys than girls and knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle and educational levels do not affect the chance of autism's occurrence. Autism interferes with the normal development of the brain in the areas of reasoning, social interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism typically have deficiencies in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions and leisure or play activities.
