Question
I would like to know what Austism is. How do autistic people behave?
Hello Imran;
Autism, technically speaking, involves significant deficits in communication, social interaction, along with a narrow range of interests and/or stereotyped and repetitive nonfunctional behaviors. All people are different as are all people with autism. Do you have specific concerns you could share with me?
Kind Regards,
James
