 AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Changes In The California Caseload An Update:
1999 Through 2002 Autism is a lifelong neurological disorder that primarily strikes males. Communication and social interactions are severely impaired for persons with autism. Unable to learn from the natural environment as most children do, the child with autism generally shows little interest in the world or people around him. Although some
children with autism develop normal and even advanced skills, most exhibit a wide range of behavioral problems. Autism, in reality, is a lifelong developmental disability that profoundly affects the way a person comprehends, communicates and relates to others. The DDS report has updated its previous study on autistic spectrum
disorders. This 29-page report includes definitions of autism,
background information, and also consumer demographics.
