Hey, how are ya? Are you familiar with autism at all?
A little bit.  What can you tell me about the 'spectrum'?
Well, children display atypical brain development usually before the age of three.
Wow!  Does it develop as a result of injury or illness?
Scientists still aren't sure.  It's likely genetic, but no one knows what genes are responsible.
Does parental age affect the likelihood of it occurring?
I'm not sure.  But early intervention in speech and behavior can help kids with autism better learn basic skills.
Can these kids go to college?
Some certainly can.  Autism is mostly characterized by trouble with social interaction and communication.  These can be treated with programs created by behavioral therapists.
