What mean ASD syndrome?
ASD stands for Autistic/Autism Spectrum Disorder. The best way to describe this is that people with autism are on a spectrum of abilities. If you think about someone with very severe autism who may be non-verbal, have developmental difficulties, and learning difficulties, these individuals would be at one end of the spectrum. At the other end of the spectrum you would have the individuals with very mild autistic symptoms such as a poor understanding of literal language or metaphor, and maybe some difficulties with social skills. So when people use the term ASD they are using a term to include all people that show some signs of autism, from severe symptoms right through to mild. Hope that helps icommunicatetherapy

How bad is an autistic disorder?
Depends on how you look at it. I look at it in the sense that we are all different and should be accepted for who we are. Unfortunately autistic people experience immense discrimination.
