Does autism last forever

Answer 1

Autism is a developmental disorder, starting from before the age of 3 and continuing throughout the person's life. The symptoms often lessen with age (excluding a possible initial regression) and treatment and some very mildly effected individuals no longer meet the diagnostic criteria in adulthood.

Answer 2

Autism is a lifelong illness. Its effects can be treated with therapy but this teaches the person with autism life skills rather than curing them. People with autism are able to live full lives.

Answer 3

Autism doesn't 'go away'. Autism is a neuroloigcal difference so a person is born autistic and continues to be autistic their entire lives, the only time that autism goes away would be if an autistic person was to die. As long as there are autistic people autism will always be here.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of autism.

Many treatments are available to improve an autistic child's health, but do not heal the actual disease.

But autism, if caught early, and treated properly, can resolve most future problems the child would have.

Answer 5

No, people cannot outgrow autism. Autism is a neurological difference, it is something that continues for as long as an autistic person is alive. Although how someone is effected by autism can change throughout their lives, an autistic person cannot 'outgrow' autism at all.

Answer 6

A person is born Autistic and will always be Autistic.

Autism is a neurological difference, it starts as our brains form within the womb during the second trimester and we remain Autistic until we die. Even when we learn to act more like neurotypical people we continue to be Autistic, there will always be additional stain on an Autistic person to act like a Neurotypical person and many Autistic people regress into old age.

Answer 7

No, a child cannot 'grow out' of autism.

Autism is a neurological difference, it is how their brain has been formed and thus is who they are as people: how they interact and interpret the world. A person is born Autistic and they are Autistic up until they die, it's not something that can be grown out of.

Answer 8

No, it is not possible for someone to grow out of autism.

Autism is a neurological difference, our brains are different to that of neurotypical people - we can never become neurotypical because our brains will never change to be that of neurotypical people, thus we are always Autistic. We can learn social and communication skills, we can learn coping methods to fit in better and deal with our symptoms easier, but we will always be Autistic.

Answer 9

While children with autism don't appear to just "get better" over time without intervention, most do improve over time with therapies and maturity.

Answer 10

You do not outgrow autism, but you can learn ways to make it less of a problem in your life. As you learn skills and develop accommodations, the severity might seem to decrease. == == == ==
