Characteristics For Autism Spectrum Disorders

Characteristics for Autism Spectrum Disorders or ASD represent a complex of severe developmental disorders that affect a person's ability to communicate, form relationships with others, and respond appropriately to the environment.

Not until the middle of the twentieth century was there a name for a disorder that now appears to affect an estimated 3.4 every 1,000 children ages 3-10, a disorder that causes disruption in families and unfulfilled lives for many children.
