Autism is a severe developmental disorder. Children who have thisdisorder appear and look to be normal but do not act like it. Thedisorder is diferent in each person who has it. The cases of autism can

range. Some only have it very lightly and are able to interact withothers. In other cases they might not be able to talk. That is why i findautism so interesting because it afects everyone so diferently.
