Description
Even though autism appears to have its roots in early brain development, it is between the ages of two and three that the major symptoms of the disorder start to appear. If the disorder is diagnosed at an early stage, appropriate behavioural therapies can be given to the autistic individuals to bring about improved results. It is very important that awareness about autism is spread in the society.
