Autism, also known as autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), is a common childhood onset neurodevelopmental disorder, characterised by severe deficits in socialisation, communication, and repetitive or unusual behaviour. It is highly genetic and multifactorial, with many risk factors acting together. Several autism loci and genes have been identified. Large-effect rare mutations and small-effect common variants (Autism susceptibility, AUTS) contribute to risk.
