Feral children may act similar to severally autistic children, but the conditions are different. Autism is caused by genetics, feralism is caused by extreme neglect, so feral children are technically not autistic, though I've seen theories that say only autistic children are capable of figuring out on how to live in the wild, and therefor all feral would be autistic.
No, not all Autistic children are savants. Many Savants are Autistic, but most Autistic people are as normal as Neurotypical people with no particularly special talents.
No - autism is a neurological condition, autistic children grow-up into autistic adults.
No, most Autistic children won't learn ASL.Although there are Autistic children who may be non-verbal or deaf so will learn ASL as a means of communication, not all Autistic people need to use sign language to communicate. Also of course not all Autistic people are American so will learn different languages.
I can safely say that 100% of autistic children are born autistic. Autism is a neurological difference so comes about in the womb during the second trimester of pregnancy and is largely considered to come down to genetic factors. All autistic people are born autistic, you cannot develop autism.
No, it's not rare at all. CDC put diagnosis of autism in children at 1 in 68 at the moment, so in theory at least 1 in every 68 children is autistic. You likely see autistic children all the time, you just don't always realise that they're autistic as autism is an 'invisable' disability.
No, Autistic children are not damaged so they do not need to be healed. Marijuana can help with Autism symptoms such as anxiety, but equally in some Autistic children it can make problems worse.
It depends on the child. Some do some dont
Autistic women can absolutely get pregnant. The fact that a person is on the Autism spectrum does not interfere with their ability to carry and raise children. Furthermore, being pregnant does not affect autism, nor does autism affect pregnancy as far as is known.
Autistic children can do many things that other children whom are not autistic do on a daily basis. I advise showing him/her how to do it safely and be patient with the child. Good luck!
No.
The parents of autistic children really have their work cut out for them.
I don't know, but I have an autistic grandson who is obessed with lights. He is 4 yrs old and all he does is talk about the lights being on or off. And when they are on he stares directly at it. When I do that it bothers my eyes. can anyone tell me if this is normal in autistic children. and what we can do to deter him from staring at the lights
