"Autism is the mysterious neurological disorder that strands children in a private world, oblivious to others, without the curiosity and instinct to imitate, which makes learning possible. Many have no meaningful language, are prone to tantrums that disrupt schooling and cling to ritualistic behavior like hand-flapping or twirling that take the place of play." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article discusses autism and the effectiveness of the use of applied behavior analysis (A.B.A.) and early intervention to treat the disorder.
