Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

yep spring is in the air. i just gave sam his bath and when we are done i let him play in the bathtub and went and checked my emails. i got an email from his teacher. they apparently have the uno card game there and sam went and told the teacher that someone had takeen the wild card out of it and she asked him who and he told her "the creeper" (from scooby doo). it was actually him and she watched him take it out of his pocket and put it back. we have a yea book and an oops book in the classroom for good and bad behavior. well the teacher got called out of the room for a minute and when she came back, the other teacher said that sam couldn't remember why he was writing in the oops book so she called him over to the desk and asked him why again and he started to cry; well that freaked her out because sam never cries so she took him out into the hall way and asked him why he was crying and he told her it was because he took something that didn't belong to him and because he had lied to her. she was so impressed and so was i. a year ago, he would have never owned up to it and she was very impressed that he was able to express that type of remorse and to realize and admit that what he did was wrong. definately spring
