Autism is a disorder is something a lot of parents deal with in their everyday life. I'm sure a lot of people know someone who has a child who has autism.
Autism effects 1 in every 110 children and it is more common then juvenile diabetes, cancer, and pediatric AIDS. There is an estimated 1.5 million effected in the USA with Autism and more world wide.
There are different severities in Autism and different combinations. What causes Autism is still unknown, but scientists are leaning to multiple genetic components. This disease is not caused by bad parenting.
