Autism can occur at the stage of growth starting from the formation of the fetes in the womb of the mother and the features start to appear in the first thirty months of age affects males more than females by 4/1.

Prevalence and Cause of Autism

According to Zachor, Maudsley in his 1880 chapter edition was coerced to believe that there existed “insanity” in childhood and that this was one of the reasons why young children are scientifically proven to have traits of psychopathic hysteria in their behaviour pattern and are bound to having swing moods stemming from unwanted irritation (Zachor, 2007).

According to (Woods, 2008), “part of the problem of autism is biochemical”. Moreover, a clearer definitive definition of autism is given by (Wolery, 2009) confirms that “the unpredictability of the behaviour of children with autism and social - inter - personal ramifications experienced by families cause considerable stress and (Wing, 2008) in (Whitaker, 2007) affirms that “autism is one of the most challenging disabilities because of the child's behavioural problems.

Once considered rare, autism is now recognised as a relatively common disorder (Volkmar, 2009). In 2005, Nash stated that “as many as 1 in 50 kids age 10 and younger may be affected by autism or a related disorder, a total of nearly 300,000 children in Scotland alone” (p.46). When adults are included in autism prevalence estimates, the numbers increase to more than one million people affected by a disorder on the autism spectrum. Autism is now more common than both Down syndrome and juvenile diabetes (Vacca, 2008). Relying on data from the United States Department of Education, the Scotland's' Government Accountability Office, identified a significant increase, over 500%, in the number of children diagnosed with autism.

Problems faced by Children

Autistic individuals may be unresponsive to others, miss social cues, and fail to make appropriate eye contact, display stereotypic, self-stimulatory, or self-injurious behaviours. Autistic individuals often become preoccupied with objects or topics, demonstrate repetitive movements, display aggressive behaviours, and are inflexible in their routines. (Attwood, 2008) described Asperger's Syndrome, according to the DSM-IV, as characterised by two principal areas. The initial area includes difficulties with social skills including understanding nonverbal language, establishing relationships, and engaging in social reciprocity.
