What Are the Symptoms of Severe Autism?
A doctor, psychiatrist or school psychologist may assist in diagnosing a child with autism. The symptoms of autism usually show up by age three, tend to affect males more than females and help define the particular bio-neurological disorder a child may have within the “autism spectrum disorder.” At the mild end of the spectrum, an Asperger syndrome child may have better communication skills, and a severely autistic child may have debilitating handicaps in the three main areas of communication, social skills and behaviors.
