Question

Does autism has stages? If so, is there any of this stage that can easily recover ?

Answer 1

Autistic children have developmental phases like other kids, but they are very much delayed. The best time to intervene with autistic children is from birth to 5 years old. This is the time that a typical child is learning his or her language and culture, so the mind in general is more open to learning these things.

Children with autism are categorized under Autism Spectrum Disorders. This is an umbrella term for a large number of pervasive developmental disorders that impair communication and social interaction. Children with these disorders range from very mildly impaired to severely impaired.

Children with mild autism often can learn to communicate and socialize and live a mostly normal life. This is done with intense language therapy and social skills instruction. A good example of this is Dr. Temple Grandin, who is autistic, but has a PhD. You might want to read her book, "Thinking in Pictures," if you want to really understand autism.

Children with moderate to severe autism usually need supportive care their entire lives. They do benefit from intense language therapy and applied behavior analysis. Many children with severe autism injure themselves because they cannot communicate in any other way.

Autism is a communication disorder. People with autism have a hard time understanding not only language, but the whole social system that we live in. They are highly anxious in many social situations because they don't know how to act or what to do.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

there is no known recovery nor are there "stages". there is only opportunity for growth and love of life

Answer 3

Autism does not really have stages.  Every child is different.  you just have to be patient and learn each childs behaviors.  There is no way to change a child that is having a problem

Answer 4

Autism is probably a "class" of many disorders that we have yet to untangle.  This amalgamation is often referred to a spectrum disorder, which means it looks like many different disorders.  Although the cause or causes of autism are not clearly known, there are clear genetic and neurological variations in those with these conditions.  Such atypical anatomy and physiology are probably in place at birth.  

Hence, there are no known stages for onset.  There also does not appear to be stages in progression, unlike progressive regenerative disorders.

Answer 5

Autism does not have stages, but does tend to have certain development milestones. Autism is a pervasive development disorder and not a degenerative disease. It is classified by a triad of impairments, difficulty with communication, difficulty socialising and imagination difficulties. Autism is on a spectrum of disorders so all sufferers are different and have differing degrees of impairments. Because it is a lifelong condition once you are diagnosed as having an ASD you cannot recover. Many people with an ASD do hold down good jobs and some do manage to live independently. Most though will always require some support.

I think I understand what you mean by stages,,,, I would call it differant traits appearing,,, and no you can work with them but usually something else appears.
