'Passive' Autism

Michmac

Hi, my 2yrs 7months son has just been diagnosed with 'Passive' Autism. He is a very loving happy boy and also has a twin sister. Just wanted to hear from other parents on their experience of this type of Autism. Any advice/help would be very much appreciated. Thanks :-)

  • Hi, Thanks for your comments. Too be honest I don't know much about the terminology but the doctor said he fell into the category 'passive' as he did not seem to bother about his environment and was happy to go anywhere we took him. He does not seem to have many sensory issues. Her description was that he prefers to 'run with the herd' but would not ask them. He is babbling a lot but not forming many words yet. I read somewhere this category of 'passive' is not as common and the children are happy to play alongside but will not interact as much.
