According to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), autism is considered a "profound developmental disorder" (F84). This is based on a lifelong complex disorder of the central nervous system - especially in the field of perception processing - which begins as early as childhood. At its center is a serious relationship and communication disorder. The effects of the disorder interfere in many ways with relationships with the environment, participation in community life, and the ability to integrate into society as both cognitive and linguistic, motor, emotional, and interactional functions are affected. In addition, there are numerous behavioral problems that can be very stressful especially for caregivers in everyday dealings with the autistic people.
