Autism
Autism is a developmental disability related to unusual brain development.
Symptoms include impaired social and communication skills, repetitive
behaviors and sensory issues. It has become regarded by many as an epidemic
and some statistics show it affects 1 in 166 children.
I have tried to include as much information as possible from many disparate
sources to offer an overview of the various perspectives and opinions
on the subject. I do not endorse or necessarily agree with the information
and products listed on this site. Please contact me with any additional
web resources and report any broken links.
