What type of autism have you or a loved one been diagnosed with?
What type of autism have you or a loved one been diagnosed with?
Over the last few years there seem to have been loads of changes in diagnostic classifications when it comes to autism.
Rett’s syndrome, Asperger’s syndrome, ASD, ASC , classic autism or even Kanner’s syndrome are used. The subgroups of autism can get confusing.

So we thought it would be useful to find out what our readers and their loved one have received by way of autism diagnosis.
So it would be great if you could take our poll. Many thanks in advance for your help!

AmandaPDA Thanks for this – really appreciate the comment |
| AmandaPDA | Don’t forget about Pathological Demand Avoidance, it is only officially recognized in the U.K., but rest assured it is a very real Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Hopefully one day it will be recognized in the US and around the world. Much love to my PDA families!! |
