At http://www.nas.orh.uk, Autism is defined as: A lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. Children and adults with autism are unable to relate to others in a meaningful way. Their ability to develop friendships is impaired, as is their capacity to understand other people's feelings. All people with autism have impairments in social interactions, social communication and imagination. This is referred to as the triad of impairments. If you imagine that Nabokov, Speilberg, Einstein and Bill Gates come under this definition, you must be off your trolly. Uns. ------------------------ Yahoo!
