Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a complex set of conditions that affect more than 1% of children. They are characterised by difficulties in the core areas of social communication and language, accompanied by restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests. These podcasts are material from The Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC), established to advance knowledge on the nature and causes of ASDs.
