We hear a great
deal about autism and many people think they have a handle on what autism is,
but maybe the definition from the Autism Society of America is the best.
According to the group, autism is a severely incapacitating lifelong
developmental disability that typically appears in the first three years of
life. It occurs in approximately 15 out of every 10,000 births, and is four
times more common in boys then in girls. Symptoms include disturbances in the
rate of appearance of physical, social, and language skills.
We always
appreciate your comments.
