What can I find information about autistic spectrum disorders?
The different forms of autism are thought to overlap considerably. But the fact that there is wide variation in symptoms among children with autism led to the concept of autism spectrum disorder. Autism seems to be on the rise, and autism spectrum disorders affect between two and six children out of every 1,000 in the U.S. It's unclear, though, whether the growing incidence of autism represents a real increase or just improved detection

What is adult 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.

Can people with dyspraxia drive?
I got this by goggling the subject on the National Autistic Society-Driving. http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=119&a=12991 their site is added below related links. The NAS Autism Help line occasionally gets asked about the rights of people with autism in relation to learning to drive. As autism is a spectrum disorder it is impossible to say that people with autism either should or should not be allowed to drive. Some people with autism may find this skill extremely difficult to grasp, while others will be highly competent drivers.
Could periodically lying down flat on the floor with hands at sides be a symptom of autism spectrum disorder?
The person might have an autism spectrum disorder or might not. That symptom would not prompt a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. For a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, the person will have a set of symptoms, not just one. To use this behavior to help diagnose an autism spectrum disorder as opposed to another condition, more information would be necessary. I know of a child who did something similar for the purpose of getting attention, rather than having an autism spectrum disorder. I know of a child who would periodically lie on the floor, motionless, pretending to be dead, apparently as a response to having heard a discussion about someone having died. It would be useful to know the context of the behavior. Does the person seem to find it stress-reducing? Does a certain event trigger this behavior? Does it happen several times per day or only a couple times per week? Does the person become agitated if interrupted during this process? Is this a behavior the person might have learned in kindergarten and has made part of his or her daily routine? These questions are examples of additional information that could be helpful to the person's doctor in diagnosing whatever condition it is.

Can autism be inherited?
The current scientific information says that although they are yet to find the cause of Autism, it may be hereditary. This is due to the increased rate in familys, with someone affected by Autism, having another Autistic family member. It is also incredably common in identical twins for both to have Autism rather then just one. Scientists are currently trying to find what gene, if in fact it is a gene, that is causing Autism.
What is the average pay for Working with Clients with Autism Spectrum Disorders?
I don't know but it needs to be equivalent to the average wage and not the basic wage as there is so much demands on the unfortunate parents that find themselves in this position. That is for the parents but for those that choose to work in the field a good wage would be well deserved as it is not an area of choice for me.
