Autism is a developmental disorder present from birth or childhood that is characterized by qualitative impairments in social interaction and communication as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors. It can be caused by early life events like prenatal chromosomal abnormalities or brain abnormalities. Treatment may include speech-language therapy, educational treatment, and biological treatment to help those with autism spectrum disorders.
