Definición

  • Autism and related disorders (together called “pervasive developmental disorders” or “autistic spectrum disorders”) are characterized by deficits in three areas: social relatedness, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Social impairments include behaviors such as lack of eye contact, poor nonverbal communication, lack of joint attention (pointing things out to others to share interests), lack of interest in peers or poor peer relationships, and impaired attunement to the emotions of others.
