What are the forms of autism?

Answer 1

I have a serverly Autistic brother and a son with Autistic traits. Basically every Autistic child has deferent obsesstions and behavours. Some Autistic children become attached to objects and others to just one person usually the mother. Some autistic babies talk jabber talk to their hands, most autistic child will not accept change. All autistic children are highly intelligent. Autistic children they say become autistic adults, not true. I taught my son to clap his hand when he started jabber talking to his hands. Having an autistic brother i learnt alot about early inconvention. Knowing the signs of austistic behavours with my brother, enabled me to intervene and cox my child out of these obsessive haviours. please don't give up if your child has been diagnosed with autisim as you as a parent can work with your child and teach them normal behavours, and make them accept change by not letting them get into a routine. good luck

Answer 2

There are 2 types of Autism - one where the child is born autistic and the other is late onset autism where at between 1.5 and 2yrs the child develops symptoms. There are many sites on this and treatment of autism.

A:There is one type of autism. It is also known as autistic disorder and Kanner syndrome.

There are several different autism spectrum disorders: autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified). It might also include Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome.

Sometimes, people distinguish between autism that is diagnosed very early (infantile autism) and autism that is diagnosed as a toddler or in early childhood (late-onset autism). Sometimes, Asperger's Syndrome is labeled as high-functioning autism and PDD-NOS is labeled as atypical autism.

Autism spectrum disorders are also known as pervasive developmental disorders. Rett syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder are included in pervasive developmental disorders.

Answer 3

The diagnostic criteria change periodically. It must be remembered that autism falls on a spectrum, ranging from very serious cases to very mild. Everyone is different. The three most commonly discussed types of autism are classic autism, Asperger's disorder and PDD-NOS, which stands for pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwhise specified.

Answer 4

Autistic spectrum disorder , it ranges from very mild to serious , mild autism is called aspergers syndrome , people can live very independently just like you or i , but on the other scale of the spectrum they will need 24 hour care

Answer 5

Pervasive developmental disorders, often known as autism spectrum disorders, include the following conditions.

• autism
• Asperger's Syndrome (AS)
• pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)
• Rett Syndrome
• childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD)

Sometimes, the term autism spectrum disorder refers only to autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and PDD-NOS. It has been mentioned that in future editions, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) will remove Asperger's Syndrome as a separate condition, including it under autism.

Some of these conditions can be known by alternate terms:

• Autism can also be referred to as Kanner syndrome, early infantile autism, or childhood autism.
• Asperger's Syndrome might be the same as high-functioning autism.
• Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified can also be called atypical autism.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as 'mild autism' - a person is either autistic or they are not, how it effects them can be mild but even then they are still autistic, and still effected in the same ways as other autistic people but just to a lesser degree. As a note severity of how a person is effected by autism can also change over time.

Answer 7

Rett's syndrome (Disorder mainly affecting girls. They develop normally at first, then experience a loss in motor and social skills and an increase in repetitive behaviors)

Asperger syndrome (a high functioning form of autism in which an individual has difficulty in social interaction and a small scope of repetitive behaviors and interests)

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (developmental disorder in which children develop normally till ages 3-4 and involves a dramatic loss of social and motor skills)

Answer 8

The forms of autism are Perfond autism, Classical auism, Pervasive Development Disorder, Asperger Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, Ragressive Autism, Rett Syndrome and many more.

Answer 9

there is mild, moderate and severe.
