Understanding Autism and Asperger's
Autism and Asperger’s are types of a broader category known as Autism Spectrum Disorders. Difficulty with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication are signs of these conditions. Asperger’s Syndrome, often called high-functioning autism, is at the milder end of the spectrum. Children with Asperger’s often have difficulty making friends and have limited interests and repetitive behaviors.
Types of Autism and Asperger's
Autism and Asperger’s are neurodevelopmental disorders that fall under the autism spectrum. Types of Autism and Asperger’s are:
- Autistic Disorder: Individuals with autistic disorder typically have significant impairments in social communication and engage in repetitive behaviors.
- Asperger’s Syndrome (AS): People diagnosed with AS had difficulty with social interactions and exhibited restricted interests or repetitive behaviors.
- Childhood Disintegrative Disorder: A rare disorder in which a child develops normally until age 2-4 and then rapidly loses social, communication, and other skills.

Child depression can present various symptoms, which may vary from child to child. Common symptoms include:
- Difficulty with eye contact
- Challenges with organizational skills
- Repetitive movements and obsessive interests
