Introduction
Autism has become an important topic in both research and society because of its complex nature and the rising number of cases. It is a neurodevelopmental condition, likely biogenetic in origin, that affects how the brain processes information.
It affects more males than females and has seen a significant rise in diagnoses globally. Autism often shows signs by the second year of life due to subtle genetic differences that affect the central nervous system.
Understanding autism involves exploring its causes, risk factors, and the kinds of support that can help individuals lead better lives.
