Autism–Neurodevelopment Disorder

Eleti Shivanvitha and Praneeth Kamarapu

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. ASD is associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and physical health problems like sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances. It is a developmental condition that affects, among alternative things, the manner an individual relates to his or her environment and their interaction with other people. Autism seems to own its roots in terribly early brain development. The causes, characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of Autism are discussed.
