What are the autistic spectrum disorders?
El Salvadorautism, also known asGeneral development disorders (TGD) orEEA (Trastorno of the autistic spectrum) is a condition related to the development of the brain that affects the way a person perceives and socializes with others.People with EEA communicate and learn differently. The capabilities of people with EEA may vary significantly. For example, some people with ASD could have advanced conversation skills, while others could not verbally express themselves. Some people with EEA need much help in their daily life; others can work and live with little help or no help. The disorder also comprises strict and repetitive conduct patterns. The term “spectro” in the autistic spectrum disorder refers to a wide range of symptoms and severity.
Signs and symptoms of autistic spectrum disorders

Other children may normally develop during the first months or years of life, but then suddenly become introverted or aggressive or lose language skills they acquired.Due to the unique combination of symptoms that each child has sometimes may be difficult to determine gravity.
