[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that ASD was something you don't grow out of. [/quote] As the mom of a young adult who was diagnosed with ASD as a preschooler, I think the condition changes over time. There are periods when symptoms improve and periods when they worsen (due to puberty or stressful transitions like changing schools). I think there are some people who mostly outgrow it, but I don’t think it entirely disappears - kind of like ADHD. I don’t think ASD is necessarily a disability but a different way of viewing and engaging with the world. [/quote]
