Autism is considered to be a child development disorder. Those who are diagnosed to have this condition usually have impairments in their ability to communicate and the way that they reciprocate the things that are being shown to them by other people. People still do not know why autism may develop, but some say that it is not only because of genetics but also because of the environment where the child may grow up.
Those with autism may have some trouble understanding and learning languages, so they will find it harder to communicate with their family member and their peers. Most of them will also be very uncomfortable in social situations.
