Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. The result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, autism and its associated behaviors have been estimated to occur in 2 to 6 per 1,000 births (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003).
