Do you think you have Autism?
Autism Terms
- Asperger's Disorder-characterized by impairments in social interactions and the presence of restricted interests and activities, with no clinical significant general delay in language, and testing in the range of average to above average intelligence.
- Autistic Disorder-impairments in social interaction, communication, and imaginative play prior to age 3 years. Stereotyped behaviors, interests and activities
- Childhood Disintegrative Disorder-characterized by normal development for at least the first 2 years, significant loss of previously acquired skills
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified-a diagnosis of PDD-NOS may be made when a child does not meet the criteria for a specified diagnosis, but there is a severe and pervasive impairment in specified behaviors
- Rett's Disorder-a progressive disorder which, to date, has occurred only in girls. Period of normal development and then loss of previously acquired skills, loss of purposeful use of the hands replaced with repetitive hand movements beginning at the age of 1-4 years
Found a couple of fascinating links. I'm not sure if they constitute "expert" info, but they list some cool techniques.
