Re: Just What Are the Different Types of Autism?

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Great list! Those are only the ones officially recognized because I believe it

is like cancer in that it has many sub groups and the treatment and prognosis

vary depending on the sub type. Off the top of my head a couple of sub groups to

autism are classical, regressive, mitochondrial... There is defiantly a need for

more studies to sub group them so that treatment will show to be more beneficial

to certain sub groups.

The reason you don't see boys with Retts syndrome is because males with that

mutation die before they are born. It shows up as a miscarriage. So, for live

children it is always seen in girls.

Subject: Just What Are the Different Types of Autism?

There are five recognised types of Autism. More people are becoming aware of the

fact that autism is on the rise throughout the world. What they may not realize,

however, is that what is generally known as autism is actually a group of five

different autism spectrum disorders. Here is a little bit about the five

different disorders:

Asperger Syndrome - An individual with Asperger's syndrome will typically become

affixed on one object or whatever topic of interest that they are looking at, at

the time. Typically, they have a very good vocabulary and speak in a formal

manner. They may also develop such symptoms as repetitive behavior, sociably

inappropriate behavior, an inability to communicate nonverbally and clumsiness.

Rett Syndrome - This particular form of autism typically happens in females and

occurs in about one out of every 12,000 individuals. Somebody with Rett syndrome

will typically develop normally for about a year and a half before beginning to

display the symptoms of autism. This could include withdrawing into herself,

stopping any talking that she has been doing and clumsiness. This form of autism

is thought to come from a mutation in one particular gene.

Childhood Degenerative Disorder - This form of autism typically shows up after

an individual is three years old. The most notable part about the ongoing

symptoms is that they tend to lose most of their vocabulary skills. This is a

very rare form of autism, only occurring in about one out of every 50,000

individuals with the disorder.

Pervasive Developmental Disorder - This disorder often refers to a person with

autism who has a delayed development of various social and lingual skills. Many

doctors will diagnose a child with autism as having pervasive developmental

disorder until they are able to re-diagnose them later in life.

Autism - This is the most common of the five different autistic disorders and

typically affects an individual throughout their entire life. Although it may

affect individuals to a different degree, most of them experience difficulties

in social behavior, language skills and other problems. It is typically

recognized by the time a person is three years old.

Any type of autism is best treated if it is recognized early in the child's

life. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for any form of autism but there are

some promising treatments that can help the child and those that care for them.

This about Retts is not true and there are some boys pooping up with Retts. I

have talked to at least one mom with a retts boy who didn't die. mito and

regressive may or may not be the same category. My son's is a combination, he

was always autistic, but he regressed at 18 months also. I personally believe

there are 3 autisms-purely genetic, genetic predisposition with trigger and

purely neurological damage in an otherwise normal person. I feel my son is the

2nd group.

My son has a genetic dx, but he is now recovered. So even if your child has a

genetic dx, that does not mean he will always be autistic.

I did not say purely genetic wasn't treatable, but each category will likely

need different treatments.

> This is very interesting. You are so knowledgable. Is there a difference in

the way you treat one type from another?

My son needed virtually EVERY possible autism cause treated. He needed

chelation, anti-virals, mitochondrial correction, carotene conversion

correction, thyroid correction, etc, etc, etc.

My son had shots, but he never showed any regression from them. He had always

been autistic, from birth, but the shots did cause the autism to progress [for

example, he had measles virus in his gut, because of MMR vaccine, altho I never

noticed any regression after that vaccine].

No, my book was written before I did a few of these things. But most of the new

things are included on my site. I do need to write a current update tho.
