What is Autism?
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which typically appears during the first three years of life. Autism affects the way the brain processes information and prevents the individuals from properly learn, speak and behave like other normally developed children do.
Children with Autism do not follow the same rules of communication and socialization that comes naturally to other children. A number of autistic children do not ever develop speech, whilst other do but rarely use language to communicate.
