The term "autism," comes from the ancient Greek word "autos" which means "self" and "ismus", which means "condition". So, the term describes conditions in which the individual becomes withdrawn within self, an isolated self. Autism is an umbrella term that describes a range of conditions characterized, by a difficulty in forming relationships, communicating and managing repetitive behaviours.
