Autism: Autism is a disorder in the autistic spectrum, which means developmental disorders in children. Autism appears in children under three years of age, most likely in infancy. The symptoms and severity of this disease vary among children and vary from one case to another. However, the common thing is that developmental disorders and autism all affect the ability and extent of the child’s interaction and adaptation with all the people around him. This limits the development of reciprocal relationships with the child.
Recent studies of autistic children suggest that autism is one of the causes of autism through transmission of inheritance. So far, there is no cure for autism, but early and intensive treatment helps make meaningful changes to autistic children.
