Autistic Spectrum Disorder (#ASD) is a condition characterized by deficits in social interaction, abnormalities in social communication, repetitive behaviors and interests that are excessively restricted and at odds with the social context. In #autism, early diagnosis is a process that seeks to confirm, from clinical suspicion to condition of spectrum in a child before three years of age.
