El trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) se refiere a un grupo de trastornos que afectan la comunicación y la interacción (autismo, síndrome de Asperger, trastorno generalizado del desarrollo no especificado de otro modo y trastorno desintegrativo infantil). Se diagnostica cuatro veces más niños que niñas, y aunque no existe una causa única, se cree que los factores genéticos y ambientales juntos influyen.
