Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and fast communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviour. Medically this is how autism is defined and can be evaded by a common man as another kind of mental problem, but there is more to autism. Not many are aware that autism is a developemental disability and not a disease or a mental illness. The manifestation of autism cover a wide spectrum, ranging from individuals with severe impairments – who may be silent, mentally disabled, and logged into their own world – to high functioning individuals who may have active but distinctly odd social approaches, narrowly focus interests or pedantic communication.
