	'''Autism''', or '''autism spectrum disorder''' (ASD), is a [[neurodevelopmental disorder]] characterized by challenges with [[social interaction]], [[communication]], and by restricted and repetitive behavior. The term "spectrum" reflects the wide variation in challenges and strengths possessed by each person with autism.

	Autism is primarily characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. These symptoms typically appear in early childhood and can vary widely in severity.		Autism is primarily characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. These symptoms typically appear in early childhood and can vary widely in severity.

	===Social Communication===		===Social Communication===
	Individuals with autism often have difficulty understanding social cues, such as facial expressions and tone of voice. They may struggle with forming friendships and engaging in typical social interactions. Some may be nonverbal, while others may have advanced language skills but still find it challenging to engage in back-and-forth conversation.

	===Repetitive Behaviors===		===Repetitive Behaviors===
	Repetitive behaviors can include hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating phrases. Many individuals with autism have a strong preference for routines and may become distressed by changes in their environment or daily schedule.

	The exact cause of autism is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research has identified several genes associated with autism, and studies suggest that autism can result from disruptions in normal brain development early in life.

	The prevalence of autism has increased significantly over the past few decades. This rise is partly attributed to changes in diagnostic criteria and increased awareness. Autism affects individuals worldwide, regardless of race or socioeconomic status.		The prevalence of autism has increased significantly over the past few decades.
