1University of Louisville Child, Evaluation Center, KY 40202, USA.
Abstract:
Autism is a relatively common developmental disorder characterized by pervasive impairments in communication and social interaction as well as restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. Two case reports are presented to illustrate important aspects of diagnosis and treatment. Early clinical diagnosis is essential so that appropriate intervention can be implemented. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment is recommended due to the impact of autism on many aspects of behavior and development.
