What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Response:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain condition and is characterized by difficulty with social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interest, or activities. 
Many children with high functioning autism (also known as Asperger's syndrome) have average or above average IQ. ASD affects men almost 4 times more than women, and is known to be more prevalent among people in technical professions such as engineering and physics.
