Autism
Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction by impaired verbal and non-verbal communication and by restricted repetitive or stereotyped behavior. The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent before a child is three years old. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs is not well understood.
