Infantile autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the central nervous system, historically recognized in diagnostic classifications and regulatory indications as an early-onset subtype of pervasive developmental disorder Pathophysiologically, it involves altered neural connectivity, atypical synaptogenesis, and disrupted early brain development driven by complex polygenic and neurobiological mechanisms

Affecting young children, its defining clinical manifestations emerge before three years of age and persist throughout life The condition is characterized by profound impairments in reciprocal social interaction and verbal or nonverbal communication, alongside restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities
