2. How Autism Childrens Differs From Other Developmental Disable Childrens The term autism was coined by   Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911 While ASD shares many symptoms with other disabilities, children on the autism spectrum have unique needs that warrant careful attention from parents, teachers, and specialists. Let’s take an in-depth look at how ASD differs from other developmental disabilities. ASD is not a singular condition but rather a group of disabilities. Toddlers with ASD have trouble engaging in eye contact, symbolic play, or joint attention behaviors, such as following a teacher’s pointed finger to a picture on a page. It’s often not until later in life that they begin exhibiting other signs of ASD, such as resisting change or performing repetitive behaviors.

3. Children and adults with ASD may also have difficulty: Expressing their needs using typical words and gestures. Focusing on activities that don’t interest them. Giving and receiving affection in the form of physical touch. Relating to or showing interest in others. Understanding others’ feelings or conveying their own. Children with ASD often have no distinguishing physical features that set them apart from other children. The difference lies in how they interact with the world around them. Being a “spectrum” disorder, ASD affects people to varying degrees, and their abilities can range from gifted to severely impaired. For example, some children with ASD can express themselves through conversation, whereas others are nonverbal.

4. For Example Autism and Down Syndrome: What Are the Differences? Autism and Down syndrome are separate conditions, but it’s possible for a person to have both. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Down syndrome (DS) are both complex and lifelong. Autism  is a neurodevelopmental difference that can affect a person’s abilities in language, social interaction, and behavior. It’s usually impossible to tell that a person is autistic just by looking at them. 1 in 68   children are autistic. Where, Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition. affecting about  1 in 700 children are affecting.
