Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by impaired social interactions, impaired verbal and nonverbal communication and stereotyped, repetitive behaviors. In the last decade there has been an increased media attention to autism both globally and across GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council countries), which in turn has increased the knowledge and awareness of the condition in the Arabian Gulf region among both parents and professionals.
