Well I said I would give you a little autism 101 as well. I dont think this one will be as long as the Arthritis 101 entry, but it bit just be if I randomly go off. :)
Autism is a very serious and complicated developmental disorder that effects the brain of a person diognosed with autism. People with autism have different symptoms and disablities. Some things that many people with autism suffer with are: socail skills, communication (verbal or non-verbal), delayed motor skills, etc. There is one reason why autism exists (same with some forms of arthritis) though doctors have agreed that differences in the brain have caused autism.
My brother was born prematurely (as I was) and he was only 2 pounds and some onzes (I was 5 lbs something). He also had to have surgery when he was an infant, something in his body was not attached to something it was supposed to be attached to, I'm not entirely sure what though... something in his chest/stomach because he has a very large scar down the middle of his front side. Anyway. Because of this it is likely that brain damage, etc was caused by his complications in birth and after birth. Along with Autism he has other developmental disorders and delays. But on a range of mild to severe, he definitely is more towards mild.
