Autism is a neurological condition, which means one feature of autism is a brain that is a little different than the brain of a person who does not have autism. Other features of autism are:
According to the DSM criteria one is diagnosed with autism when the have deficits in language and social skills and a presence of repetitive or ritualistic behaviors. These deficits and excesses are apparent before the age of three and usually include delays in appropriate play behavior such as symbolic and imaginative play. Currently in the research the earliest signs of autism are seen with deficits in Joint Attention.
The following are just a few characteristics:
~Repetitive motion or sounds (Children may sway back and forth, or may repeat the same word over and over)
~Unusual motion (Children may spin around, may rock back and forth, and so on)
~May delay in learning to speak (Some children may never speak)
~Must have the same routine every day (Bread must always be eaten with milk, juice cannot be in a bottle, only a box)
~Are interested in one specific thing (This is most common for Aspergers Syndrome)
~Has trouble in social situations
The characteristics of Autism a meany and varied. I volunteered in a classroom for autistic children and saw many different kinds. Some can talk, some can't. Some talk very quickly, or rather slowly. Some rock, or spin or flap or jump as a form of Stimming (stimulation). Some of them like to have hugs and are very happy, some are violent. Some stomp to show they are mad, while some hit and scream. Some scream in joy others in sorrow. I hope i have answered this adequetly, and if not, I hope you will forgive me. Volunteering in this room was very dear to me, and just recently was taken away, possibly for good.
Autism has many characteristics, three major characteristics are:
Once characteristic of autism is difficulty relating to others.
This characteristic is not enough to diagnose autism. Children with autism might babble at 8 months. Children with hearing problems might not babble at 8 months. The child might have autism if he or she has additional signs of autism and other possibilities are eliminated.
No, not necessarily. Rocking back and forth alone is not an indication of autism, neurotypical people can rock back and forth too! It can be a characteristic of autism known as 'stimming' which is repetitive self-stimulation, it's a means of controlling sensory input to reduce sensitivity to surrounding sensory input.
Potentially this could be a characteristic of autism, depending on the situation. What you describe could be a meltdown. This occurs when an autistic person is overwhelmed with sensory input or a stressful situation, they experience an uncontrolable emotional outburst such as an angry or agressive outburst.

Infantile Autism is when a baby or toddler (an Infant) has autism.
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
Biologial. Autism is neurodevelopmental. There are hereditary and genetic ties to autism.
No, Jedward do not have autism.
No, Macy Gray does not have autism, although she does shows for autism causes.
Autism can be inherited from parents with genes for autism. Autism can also be the result of the spontaneous mutation of a gene. It is suspected that a person with the genes for autism might need an environmental factor (in the womb or shortly after birth) to trigger the development of autism.
