Autism Treatment
Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes difficulties in social interaction, language and communication skills combined with rigid and repetitive behaviors. Because of the range of symptoms, this condition is now called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Children with autism have trouble communicating and understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.
