Autism

Autism is a developmental disorder that typically develops during the first three years of life. Autistic children do not reach on time the developmental milestones of a normal healthy baby, like crawling, walking, saying the first word etc. Autistic

children are not slow learners or of a lesser IQ or suffer from mental retardations. Instead these are very special children who have difficulty in communication and social interaction. They often come across as those who remain engrossed with restricted and repetitive behavior patterns.
