Autism is a serious developmental disorder, i was diagnosed whit it when i was a baby, by mistake of course
That's quite a relief. My coworker has a child with autism, but I don't really know much about it.
Its probably really hard for him, too bad autism is characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication, its a difficult condition
There's some hope though as it can be treated with behavioral therapy and/or meds.

Yes too bad people are not vaccinating their children, this theory has also been disproven by UK National Health Service
