Autism is a
complex developmental disability that typically appears before age
three. It is a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of
the brain in areas of communication and social interaction. Although
the characteristics might be the same, each person is very unique.
Autism is a spectrum disorder whose characteristics can present
themselves in a wide variety of combinations from mild to severe.
People use different terms to describe persons within the spectrum,
such as: autistic tendencies, high or low-functioning autism, or autism
spectrum. Whatever the term, children can learn and function
productively given the appropriate educational plan.
