A neurodevelopmental disorder that generally appears before the age of three. Autism affects the typical progression of neurodevelopment in regions of the brain associated with social interaction, communication skills, and overall cognitive functioning. Common delays observed in individuals with autism include difficulties with communication (both verbal and non-verbal), atypical play/leisure skills and difficulties with social interactions. The overall adaptive functioning in individuals with Autism is noted as delayed as well.

The most recent figures from the National Autism Association note that Autism now affects 1 in 44 children, with males being four times more likely to have Autism than females. Autism is a spectrum disorder and does display great variety in all affected, no two people with Autism are alike.
