Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a group of disorders that affect communication and interaction (autism, Asperger's syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and childhood disintegrative disorder). Four times as many boys as girls are diagnosed, and while there is no one cause, genetic and environmental factors together are thought to play a role.
