Abstract: 
Autism is a lifetime neurodevelopmental condition. It is identified by difference in behavior, social interaction, communication, special interests and sensory processing. These differences can present people on the autism spectrum with challenges in how they interact with their surroundings. Autism is a complicated condition which affects speech, language, neurodevelopmental, sensory perception and social interaction.
Some people on the autism spectrum may behave in non-typical ways, often in response to the different ways in which they experience their surroundings. Such behaviors are generally a way to communicate their feeling or to change to a situation, or may result from their heightened sensitivity to a sound or something they have seen or felt. The researchers suggest that genes and environment play major roles in the causing of ASD. A more recent study examined the cell structure, size and shape of the brains of personals with ASD, they demonstrated that different brain regions showed these differences more profoundly than others.
