Autism is a neurological disorder that affects an individual’s ability to communicate, understand language and relate to others. Autism is called a “spectrum disorder” because people may have some or all of the following characteristics, varying from mild to severe.

Children with autism or other disorders on the autism spectrum differ in ability and behavior because of the difference in the individual’s ability to process information from the environment. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can often be reliably detected by 3 years of age and sometimes as early as 18 months. Autism spectrum disorders can affect individuals of all racial, ethnic and economic groups.
