Autism is a lifelong, complex neurobiological disorder for which there is currently no documented cure.
It crosses a spectrum that ranges from relatively mild difficulties to extreme conditions involving severe language delay;
repetitive and/or anti-social behavior, and even aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior. Symptoms of autism change
across the life course. An autism diagnosis involves deficits in three core areas: social interaction, use of language, and
behavior and interests. Researchers are scrambling to determine whether autism is linked to genetics, environmental factors
or a combination of both. To learn more about what autism is and what you can do to help visit www.autismspeaks.org
