Researchers studying autistic spectrum disorders symptomology agree on the
fact that the behavioral manifestations of autism are a response to an organic
substrate of their brains. In fact, autism is a complex developmental syndrome,
including a heterogeneous group of individuals with similar symptoms, but with
multiple biological etiologies (Secara,2007).
Today autism is described as a pervasive developmental disorder, affected
individuals manifesting deficits in the social interactions (using nonverbal
behavior in communication, reciprocal social/ emotional), verbal and nonverbal
communication and a narrow field and stereotyped interests and activities
(American Psychiatric Association, 1994; Myles, Cooper Swanson, Holverstott,
Moore Duncan, 2007).
