About Autism:
Autism is a developmental disorder encompassing global sensory issues. Autism is on a
spectrum that encompasses a wide continuum of behavior. It is characterized by three
distinctive behaviors: 1) difficulties with social interaction, 2) displaying problems with
verbal and nonverbal communication, and 3) exhibiting repetitive behaviors or narrow,
obsessive interests. These behaviors can range in impact from mild to disabling.
