What is Autism?
Autism is a general term for a group of conditions referred to as: autism, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), Rett syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD).
As the word spectrum in ASD suggests, children with autism may have a wide range of behaviors and issues, including social impairments, communication difficulties, and repetitive, patterns of behavior.
