I would say he has some form of autism.
A person does not 'develop' autism - a person is born autistic.
Absolutely not, autism is a neuro-biological disorder that a person is born with. It is a neurological difference, meaning those born with autism, have brains that function differently that those who do not have autism. You cannot "catch" autism from others.
Autism is a neurological difference, thus a person is born autistic - a teenager cannot develop autism, they were either born autistic or not.
David Anthony Holmes has written: 'Nonverbal behaviour in autism and schizophrenia'
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
Autism is a neurological difference, as such you are born autistic and you cannot become autistic. Autism and vaccinations are completely unrelated.
No one 'ends up' with autism - a person is born autistic.
A person does not 'develop' autism - a person is born autistic.
No one 'gets' autism. Autism is a neurological difference, people who are autistic are born autistic and it'snot something that they contract.
No, Autism cannot develop in a child of 7 or in anyone. Autism is a difference in how the brain is formed, it develops during the second trimester and as such Autistic people are born - a person cannot be born neurotypical and develop Autism, it doesn't work like that.
Autism has a genetic component, so people can be born with it. Others are born with a susceptibility to autism that is probably triggered by an environmental factor. So, there are newborns with autism. Usually, autism is not diagnosed until age 2 or 3, but some cases are diagnosed earlier, and some are not identified until much later.
Autism cannot be cured - Autism is a neurological difference, not an illness to be cured.A person is born Autistic and remains Autistic their entire life, just as someone who is born Caucasian cannot be 'cured' of being Caucasian. Autism is a neurological difference, you cannot get rid of Autism in a person without changing their brain, which is simply not possible.
