'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 :-)

  • Could NAS try to find out what different classifications of autism are being given out, and how many are out of date, based on obsolete thinking?  

    GPs often have odd ideas about autism, such as it being something you grow out of, and so do many clinicians, for example those that think that if an adult has no gaze aversion he /she has normal eye contact.

    There is a big problem out there with the quality of diagnostic methods.
