    Autism is a spectrum of neurological disorders characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication and by restricted and repetitive behavior. The causes of autism are not fully known but are believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors. Autism is not caused by bad parenting, food allergies, gluten, or a parent's intelligence level. Vaccines also do not cause autism. Autism can affect socialization, communication, and behavior. Diagnosis involves observing developmental milestones and behaviors that are not related to language delays. Parents are encouraged to observe their child, seek help from professionals, and pool resources to support their child's development.
