What is Autism?
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability. People with autism often have difficulty with language and communication and with forming social relationships. They find it difficult to play or use their imagination and their motor and co-ordination skills may be affected.
It is sometimes referred to as 'autism spectrum disorder' or ASD. It is more common in boys than girls and affects people in different ways - some are able to live relatively 'everyday' lives - while others will require a lifetime of specialist support.
