Autism spectrum disorder, commonly known as autism, is a neurological disorder affecting one in 500 individuals. The cause is not known. Symptoms first appear around 18 months of age. Specific symptoms vary from one individual to another, but always include severe developmental delays in communication and social skills. Untreated, most individuals with autism will require a lifetime of supervision and care.
