This results in severe problems of social relationships，communication, and behavior. Individuals with autism have to painstakingly(費(fèi)力地)learn normal patterns of speech and communication，and appropriate ways to relate to people, objects, and events, in a similar manner to those who have had a stroke

affecting those parts of the brain that process language and information coming in from the senses. There may be some imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain Genetic(遺傳的) factors may sometimes be involved. Autism may indeed result from a combination of several “causes“.
