'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,

    My son was disagnosed at 3 & 1/2 as having PDD-NOS (a mid form of autism). He is now 4 & 1/2. He sounds a lot like your son. We have barely any sensory issues and he is very happy to go anywhere and very keen to play with large crouds but also struggles to communicate well or ask to play etc. I asked his speech therapist this week about how hard it is to find information about kids with his form of autism and she said that is because he is in the minority group...being a passive communicator. She also said that 80% of kids diagnosed with autism have an intellectual disability, whereas our son is very bright. It's so frustrating finding information about his form of austism. I hope this helps in some way :-)
