'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 :-)

  • You would think being a professional the speech therapist would feel it a duty to come out with sense.

    There's massive disagreement, over a wide range, as to how many children with learning disabilities have autism. And about the same debate about people with autism having a learning disability

    NAS website says between 48 and 52% of people with autism have some form of learning disability. But that's from a mean value across a range of studies of between 30% and 85% of people with autism having greater than 70 IQ.

    A lot of people with autism have comorbid dyslexia which is a learning difficulty.

    In other words its not clear enough to make bald statements. And your speech therapist is possibly not as well informed as he/she pretends
