Abstract

Autism represents a neurodevelopmental disorder generally characterized by how an individual relates to and communicates with others. It is defined by criteria in several behavioral domains (social interaction, communication skills, and patterns of activity) [1-3] The terms autism, autistic, and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) are often used interchangeably [1-5] ASD encompasses three categories of disorders (autism, Asperger, and pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified) all sharing common symptoms [4, 5] Autistic disorder is used in a more restrictive fashion and is defined by the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR) criteria (American Psychiatric Association 1994, 2000) [6]. (Table 18.1).
