Autism is very diverse and includes various obstacles and gifts. "If you meet autistic children," parents and clinicians say, "You have children with autism." This heterogeneity, including the range of physical illness, makes it hard to find. The cause of autism is a difficult task. Evidence of the genetic basis of autism was much easier to share with autism than brothers twins if the same twins showed the same genome in the study of 1977. We now know that younger brother of a child diagnosed with autism is more dangerous than other children. But the twins also have a common environment including the uterus. As a twin pair study in 2011, this shared environment seems to be more important than previously recognized.

Diagnosis of autism is targeted to children with various skills and disabilities. Thus, developmental disorders may seem very different between children and children. Many experts diagnosing and treating children with autism prefer to say, "If you see a child with autism, you will see autistic children." In many cases, it is marked as a possible symptom. Autism, this is the cause of confusion. "There are many things that can cause social problems," says Dr. Susan Epstein, a neuropsychologist. "There are subtle language barriers that can be felt as autistic, or other diseases, especially when they appear together - ADHD, learning disorders, depression."
