Autism is a brain development disorder that impairs social interaction and communication, and causes restricted and repetitive behavior, all starting before a child is three years old. This set of signs distinguishes autism from milder autism spectrum disorders (ASD) such as Asperger syndrome.
Autism is highly heritable, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is generally unclear which genes are responsible.[1] In rare cases, autism is strongly associated with agents that cause birth defects.[2] Other proposed causes, such as childhood vaccines, are controversial and the vaccine hypotheses lack convincing scientific evidence.[3] Most recent reviews estimate a prevalence of one to two cases per 1,000 people for autism, and about six per 1,000 for ASD, with ASD averaging a 4.3:1 male-to-female ratio. The number of people known to have autism has increased dramatically since the 1980s, at least partly due to changes in diagnostic practice; the question of whether actual prevalence has increased is unresolved.[4]
Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is poorly understood. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. Early intervention may help children gain self-care and social skills, although few of these interventions are supported by scientific studies. There is no cure.[5] With severe autism, independent living is unlikely; with milder autism, there are some success stories for adults,[6] and an autistic culture has developed, with some seeking a cure and others believing that autism is a condition rather than a disorder.[7]

Here is another article on the basic elements of autism simplified.
If you google Autism you will gets lots of results. Try Wikipedia.
You should be aware though that there is a spectrum of Autism meaning there are different types of "severity" each with their own symptoms, limitations and labels.
Asbergers is a form of Autism that is very common and only relatively new to the general public. A lot of people have only recently been diagnosed with Asbergers, having gone their whole life feeling different.
Autisim is a brain disorder, that effects communication, and causes repetitive behavior.. All the signs show before a child is 3 usually. Autism is actually heritable, so it can tend to run in a family. If someone has very bad autism it is unlikely they will be capable of living alone :( x.x.x.x
Mainly Autism effects how the person experiences and interacts with other people and social groups.
It's pretty hard to define, and each person with Autism is a little different. That's why it's called a syndrome (NOT a disease), and there is a whole spectrum of symptoms.
