Autism
Unlike cerebral palsy, which affects motor skills, autism affects the development of social interaction and communication skills.
Autism is:
"A childhood disorder present before the age of 30 months which is characterized by withdrawal, self-stimulation, cognitive deficits, and language disorders."
