[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The follow up was when the kids averaged 6 1/2 years old. So it is still too early to tell what happens to these kids when they are adults. I hope they continue to follow these kids into adulthood. [/quote] The avg age for kids diagnosed with Asperger’s is 8 yrs old. Kids with Aspergers/autism, level 1, obviously miss an earlier autism diagnosis since they do not have speech delays and the autism isn’t apparent until they are older and in school. Since the study was conducted on younger kids who received an autism diagnosis at a young age, they all had very obvious autistic traits.[/quote]
