Question

Can autism develop later in life?

Answer 1

Autism:

1. Autism is a serious neurological and developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate, interact, and social behaviour.
2. Diagnosis of Autism can be done at any age if early diagnosis is not done.
3. It is described as a “developmental disorder” because symptoms appear in the developmental stage between the first to three of life.
4. A diagnosis of Autism can be possible between 2 to 3 years of age. Autism can not develop in an adolescent and an adult.
5. So Autism does not develop later in life. Autism is a neurological disorder, that's why autism symptoms appear at an early age between 2 to 3 years.
