Definition

  • Autism, autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and related pervasive developmental disabilities are neurological disorders that involve primarily problems of communication, socialization, and behavior. These terms are commonly used to describe the same disabilities; hence, the term ASD will be used hereafter. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Psychology; Autism Spectrum Disorders]
