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.</span><b><br style="font-family: arial;"> <br> </b></font></p><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="133"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.website-hit-counters.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=95724-2998" alt="website-hit-counters.com" border="0"></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><font style="font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: rgb(51, 0, 6); text-decoration: none;"> <a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: rgb(85, 85, 86); text-decoration: none;" title="free hit counter">free hit counter</a> </font></td></tr></tbody></table> f3f79ef79c8a2c2dceae8772da7b605b NE Regional Autism Support Department
