Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that impacts how one interacts with others, communicates, learns, and behaves. It is a developmental disability mostly seen in children. Those detected with autism spectrum disorder will have to take therapies as suggested by the expert. According to to Mayo Clinic, Autism spectrum disorder begins in early childhood and eventually causes problems functioning in society — socially, in school and at work, for example. Often children show symptoms of autism within the first year.
