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.

THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSTED AT A MORE APPROPRIATE TIME! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM GOING THROUGH ISSUES WITH THE SCHOOL, CHILDRENS SERVICES, ETC.
I HAVE A VERY INTELLIGENT AND CONCERNED DR. WHO IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE INS AND OUTS, SO I AM HOPEFUL THAT MY DAUGHTER WILL FINALLY GET THE HELP SHE SO NEEDS AND DESERVES. AT 14, I THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
WARMLY,
JERI

I have another meeting on Thursday which I am determined to not be ugly, just wrathful.
