[quote=Anonymous]There are kids that start our with developmental disabilities during the toddler years. They stop speaking and walking. They have hypotonia and can't hold themselves up. Lots of sensory problems. Even when they sort of catch up with the average kid their age by their teens, they're not just "weird" kids. They have something deeper going on with them (can't write or do small motor skills even as teens, very clumsy, don't have normal friendships and social lives, get overwhelmed very easily, and so on) and they definitely need to be given supports to be able to navigate the world socially so that they can be employable. I don't see why these kids should not be considered to have ASD. [/quote]
