Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. To learn more about autism, click here.
There is no single known cause for autism, and no known cure. However, the Center for Autism is focused on the reality that autism is treatable. To learn more about possible causes from the Autism Society of America, visit http://www.autism-society.org/about-autism/causes/.
If you are observing impairment in eye contact, social skills and communication, and increased participation in restricted or repetitive behaviors, you should have your child evaluated by a provider with experience in autism. This evaluation will determine if your child meets the diagnostic criteria for an Autism Spectrum Disorders.
