Autism
"Autism
(also called autistic disorder, infantile autism, Kanner's
syndrome or Kanner syndrome) is a
neurodevelopmental disorder
that manifests itself before the age of three years.[1]
Children with autism are marked by impaired social
interaction, impaired communication, and restricted and
repetitive behavior.These three characteristics reflect
Leo Kanner's
first reports of autism emphasizing "autistic aloneness" and
"insistence on sameness".

auditory input and have a more difficult time
processing auditory stimulation. Their work
stations should be placed away from excessive
auditory stimulation and away from unnecessary
movement."
