What is Autism?

Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder is a lifelong developmental disability that manifests itself during the first three years of life.
It results from a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, mostly affecting children and adults in many countries irrespective of gender, race or socio-economic status.
It is characterized by impairments in social interaction, problems with verbal and non-verbal communication and restricted, repetitive behaviour, interests and activities.
Though there is no cure for it, therapeutic and behavioural guidance can considerably improve quality of life.
