Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication
difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autistic disorder, sometimes called Autism
or classical ASD, is the most severe form of ASD, while other conditions along the spectrum include a milder form known as
Asperger syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually
referred to as PDD-NOS).

The hallmark feature of ASD is impaired social interaction. As early as infancy, a baby with ASD may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time. A child with ASD may appear to develop normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement.

A pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger syndrome is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than a single symptom. It is characterized by qualitative impairment in social interaction, by stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language.[22] Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, restricted prosody, and physical clumsiness are typical of the condition, but are not required for diagnosis.[5]
