Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way people act across a broad spectrum. It is not a disease or a disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autistic people may have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills.
Others may find bright lights or loud noises overwhelming and stressful, or display repetitive behaviors.
Today, autism affects one in 36 children, according to the CDC, meaning more than 90,000 children are born with this developmental disorder in the U.S. each year.
But autism is notoriously difficult to detect and the vast majority of children with the condition will not be diagnosed until they are five years old and will show clear behavioral signs.
