What form of autism do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

My son was originally diagnosed with PDD-NOS. About 2 years later someone said it was impossible and it was actually HDA. Today most claim he cannot be PDD-NOS, but rather Aspergers. Whatever. Just as neurotypical kids change, so do those on the spectrum. Most who are diagnosed on the spectrum are diagnosed once and never again. So to me it seems that the younger a kid is diagnosed, the higher the chance that he was diagnosed PDD-NOS or similar and the older they are the higher chance of being diagnosed HFA or AS. Of course, there are always exceptions, but from what I have seen, that seems to be the case in many.

I have AS however, there are times when I've exhibited classic autism quality therefore I think I'm a hybird in this area of logical thought and possible classification.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, or high-functioning autism.
