not surprising that an estimated one in 150 eight year olds are autistic (Leach and Collins, 2009). An even larger number of people, however, are indirectly affected by autism.
Indeed, those individuals who are actually afflicted with autism can have a phenomenal impact on the family and the classroom in particular. It is not just the parents,

not only does autism indirectly affect others, others can affect how an autistic individual responds in a particular situation. The thesis can be presented, in fact, that autistic behaviors may
be explained by research that suspects key differences in the biological responses to a persons environment. The American Psychiatric Association defines
autism as a "pervasive developmental disorder marked by differences in the areas of communication, socialization, and repetitive behavior" (Carnahan, Musti-Rao and Bailey, 2009, p. 37). The causes of autism

from improper neurodevelopment (Leach and Collins, 2009). Children with autism have certain brain abnormalities (Leach and Collins, 2009). Even here, however, the environment appears to be important.
The developmental problems leading to autism begin while the child is still in the womb (Leach and Collins, 2009). Interestingly, these problems can be related to prenatal factors, genetics
