Early diagnosis of the disorder with successive interference is very helpful to refine verbal outcomes and upgrade critical symptoms. Nowadays it is evident the neuroanatomical involvement in this disorder in early childhood and teenage groups like the cortical tissue of frontal, temporal and parietal lobes, amygdala and hippocampus, in the inferior cerebellar vermis and left cerebellar lobule.
In conclusion: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which characterized by diminished communication skills, behavioral disturbances and cognitive impairment issues which definitely associated with neuroanatomical and microstructural changes in the brain cortex. In addition to genetic role in its etiology.
