Is autism deadly

Answer 1

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a common childhood behavioural disorder that affects a child's ability to focus, organise, and finish a task. They frequently act impulsively and are easily distracted.

Though this type of behaviour is common in children, what distinguishes ADHD from normal children is the persistence of symptoms, which has an impact on the child's academic and social life. Inattention (lack of focus), hyperactivity (restlessness), and impulsiveness are the primary symptoms of ADHD. The severity of symptoms varies from child to child, but ADHD is classified as Predominately Inattentive, Predominately Hyperactive, or Combined based on the dominant indications.

ADHD Symptoms

Easily distracted.

Forgetting or being absentminded

Does not pay attention to his or her work and makes numerous errors

Has difficulty focusing and is easily distracted.

Has trouble following instructions.

Things are easily misplaced or lost.

Does not enjoy tasks that require concentration.

Hyperactivity – or agitation.

To diagnose ADHD, there is no single test that can be used. It is based on trained doctors or psychologists analysing and assessing a child's behaviour pattern, cognitive skills, and development based on the persistence of symptoms, the child's age, and the severity of the symptoms.

Answer 2

No, autism is not life-threatening.

Autism is a neurological difference - our brains work differently to those who are neurotypical - as autism is a spectrum some are more severely effected than others but they do not conflict with life. Those severely effected may struggle to identify risks, thus may walk into roads or into water without realizing the risk of being hit by a car or drowning - but these people will have regular care to prevent this from happening. All Autistic people risk discrimination which can include physical abuse, some parents murder their Autistic children because they see us as inferior, and many of us are unemployed so less likely to have a good quality of life or afford healthcare.

Autism itself isn't life-threatening, if anything discrimination towards us is the real risk.
