Autistic disorder or Autism (classical ASD) is the most severe form of ASD, while other conditions include a milder form known as Asperger syndrome, the rare form called Rett syndrome, and pervasive development not otherwise specified. (PDD-NOS). It occurs in all ethnic and socioeconomic groups and affects every age.  One out of every 110 children are being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum disorders daily, and one out of 70 boys.
