What is Autism?
Autism is a severely
incapacitating, lifelong
developmental disability, which
usually appears during the first
three years of life. It occurs in
approximately 5 out of every
10,000 births and is four times
more common in boys than in
girls. Autism has been found
throughout the world in families
of all racial, ethnic and social
backgrounds.
In IQ testing, approximately
60% of children with autism
have scores below 50, 20%
between 50 and 70 and 20%
greater than 70. Most show
wide variations in performance
on different tests at different
times. Many children
with autism have distinct skills
in music, mathematics or in
using spatial concepts (for
example, working jigsaw
puzzles), but are severely
retarded in other areas.
