Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism is a developmental and neurological problem that occurs mostly in the childhood and may last throughout one’s life. It affects one’s interactions and action towards others. It also affects one’s ability to learn and process information. It was earlier known as “Asperger Syndrome” and “Pervasive Developmental Disorders”. Presently, due to the vast range of symptoms, it’s called a “spectrum”.
