 Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder and
has a biological basis which is present at birth.
There is a classic triad of symptoms relating
to:
- lack of reciprocal social interaction
- impairment in the use of language for social
communicative purposes
- behavioural manifestations that encompass
motor stereotypies, restricted interests and routines.
In recent years autism specialists have come
to recognise that there are many children with characteristics of
autism who have intelligence within the normal range.
With the aid of video, this module will help
you to identify the features of autism particularly in children
with normal intelligence. There is also a section on autism in
females.
