Autism is a disorder characterized by early onset disruptions in social communication and restricted/repetitive behaviors. We will review recent research and current understanding on the evolution of the concept of autism, its clinical characteristics, its causes, as well issues in clinical management, policy and intervention. Given the relevance of autism for a scientific and cultural understanding of normative and atypical development of social behavior, research in autism has the potential to crucially inform knowledge in medical, biological, social and behavioral sciences.

Abstract
Autism is a disorder characterized by early onset disruptions in social communication and restricted/repetitive behaviors. We will review recent research and current understanding on the evolution of the concept of autism, its clinical characteristics, its causes, as well issues in clinical management, policy and intervention. Given the relevance of autism for a scientific and cultural understanding of normative and atypical development of social behavior, research in autism has the potential to crucially inform knowledge in medical, biological, social and behavioral sciences.
