If autism affects a person, it will severely implicate a person with lifelong disability in regards to his or her developments. An infant gets affected with the problem within his or her first three years after birth. Mostly a child out of 150 children becomes the victim of this problem. The problem is found within a particular social, ethnic or racial background in any part of the world. Researchers in this field are trying to unearth the actual reason of this disease. But one conclusion is universal that the problem symptomizes some sort of physical disorders in the affected person’s brain.  The physical disorders are as below:-

1) Disturbances are observed in the expressions of language, social and physical skills.

2) The affected child will show abnormalities in his her responses to sensations.

3) The affected person will symptomize disturbed responses or sensations in his or her sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, pain, balance and the way of holding the body.

4) The child affected with this problem will exhibit either delay or total absence in his or her language or speech, but the specific capabilities of the child, in most probability, will be present.

5) The affected child may be seen with the abnormalities in his or her way of relating to events, objects and people.
