Autism Resource Guide
One of the least understood of all developmental disabilities is autism. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life, resulting from a neurological disorder that affects brain functioning which interferes with communication, learning, behavior and social development.
New developments in research and therapy have unlocked some of autism's mysteries, and with them, some of the lives affected by autism. The prevalence of autism and autism spectrum disorders is estimated to occur in as many as one in every 250 individuals or more. This equates to well over 22,000 persons in Missouri.
