Autism
Autism affects more than 400,000 American families and at least one in every five children in America. Autistic children or adults at first might appear mentally disabled but it’s very important to distinguish autism from other health conditions.
Based on the National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stokes, autism can manifest itself in different forms like behavioral problems, speech impediments, difficulty learning and focusing, inability to make friends and erratic outbursts.
Autistic kids have often difficulty learning and are mentally disabled. Some autistic kids have normal intelligence while others might fall into a lower range.
Half of people with autism score below 50 in IQ tests, 20% fall between 50 and 70 and 30% have an IQ higher than 70.
