Answer to Question 1

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that is typically described as a collection of behavioral symptoms. The extent and severity of those symptoms provide a range of diagnoses referred to as autism spectrum disorders.


  • The federal definition of autism begins: Autism means a developmental disability significantly



affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age
three that adversely affects a childs educational performance. (See page 270, text).

 In pervasive developmental disorders, only a few of the characteristics of autism are present, or the characteristics are present in a very mild form.
 Children with Aspergers syndrome may exhibit many of the social and behavioral characteristics of people with autism, but without the marked delays in language and cognitive development.

Answer to Question 2
