What is Autism

Autism is a spectrum disorder that affects an individual's ability to communicate, interact, and behave in socially appropriate ways. It is a complex neurological disorder that can cause difficulty in speaking and understanding language, difficulty in interacting with other people, difficulty in self-regulation, and difficulty in controlling behavior. Symptoms of autism can range from mild to severe, and can vary from person to person. Some common signs of autism can include avoiding eye contact, being overly sensitive to sensory input, being preoccupied with certain topics or activities, and difficulty in expressing needs or desires. Treatments for autism may include behavioral therapy, speech and language therapy, social skills therapy, and medical management.
