presents an overview of this devastating disorder. Autism is a
perceptual disorder that affects the cognitive and language skills
of a child, and it is usually characterized by ritualistic motor
activity. Another devastating characteristic of these children is
their social isolation. The child may not appear to want or need
the comforting attention of a parent and will relate oddly to the
environment--for example, developing a close attachment for an
electronic appliance or a devastating fear of the vacuum cleaner.
The causes of this disorder remain unknown despite a
considerable amount of research; however, effective treatment
plans and interventions have been developed. Bibliography lists
