Yes, as understanding of Autism changes diagnosis changes - people who are adults today may not have been recognized as being Autistic as children due to lack of awareness.
I'll offer myself as an example:
I'm diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and was clearly Autistic as a child: developmental delays, non-verbal, regular meltdowns, among other issues. In the 1980's Autism was still considered a 'boys disorder' and few people knew about Autism, thus I was not diagnosed and people didn't know what to make of my behavior. In the 1990's I had fewer issues with Autism, so although autism was better known my problems were not severe enough for people to have realized I was Autistic. In the late 1990's/early 2000's my school insisted I go to therapy due to my behavior, the therapists knew I was Autistic but didn't inform me or my parents, thus diagnosis wasn't made. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 28 years old, and that was only because I was working with disabled children at the time so I went looking for information and realized that I was Autistic.
What else can I help you with?
How did my child develop autism?
Research suggests that the development of autism is rooted in very early brain development. However, in most cases, no one cause can be identified. Research has identified several genes that can cause autism in and of themselves. These account for about 15 percent of cases of autism spectrum disorders. Research has identified more than 100 genes or gene changes (mutations) that increase the risk that a child will develop autism. In most cases, genetics alone can't distinguish why one person has autism and another does not. Those most associated with increased autism risk include advanced parental age at time of conception and prematurity with very low birth weight. Other possible environmental risk factors include maternal diabetes or infection during pregnancy and certain birth complications, particularly those that may involve oxygen deprivation to a baby's brain.
If none of your family has autism how did you get it?
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can have a variety of genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development. It is not always necessary for other family members to have autism for someone to be diagnosed with it. It can arise from a combination of genetic predispositions and other factors, and each individual's experience with autism can be unique.
How different is child counseling to adult?
Child counseling typically involves the use of age-appropriate language, activities, and techniques to help children express their emotions. The counselor may also involve parents or caregivers in the therapy process. Adult counseling tends to focus more on verbal communication and may delve deeper into past experiences and their impact on current issues. Additionally, confidentiality and consent may differ between child and adult counseling.

Is the inner child theory still accepted in modern psychology?
Yes, the inner child theory is still accepted in modern psychology as a concept that explores how childhood experiences can influence adult behavior and emotions.
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 autism kill a child?
No, autism cannot kill a child - no more than having neurotypical brain could.
Will your baby have autism if your girlfriends half brother has it?
It is unlikely that your child would have autism. There is a genetic component to autism, so it is more likely that you would have a child with autism than a couple with no history of autism in their backgrounds. However, it is still more likely that your child will not have autism than have autism.
Who had a child who survived autism?
most people with autistic children, autism is not fatal
Does Sarah Palin have a child with autism?
Her youngest son has Down's Syndrome, but she has a nephew with autism.
Does an 8-month-old child have autism if he does not babble?
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.
Having a child with autism is making you depressed?
You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity. Having an Autistic child isn't what makes you depressed, the fact you're ableist towards that child is making you depressed because you believe that child is worth less as an Autistic person.Get away from other 'Autism Moms'/'Autism Parents' and avoid organizations like Autism Speaks which see Autism as a bad thing, go talk to Autistic people and parents who are allies to their Autistic children so you get a better understanding of how to effectively care for your child and stop seeing them as some sort of burden. Your child is not to blame for your depression.
Your twin has autism will your baby have autism too?
Yes. However, it is more likely that the second child will not have an autism spectrum disorder than that the child will have one. There is a genetic component to autism spectrum disorders. The chance of having a second child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is greater than the usual chance of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder. If the next child does have it, it could be a milder or more severe case than that of the first child. According to one study, if one child in the family has autism, the chance that another will also have autism is 10%. In that study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. Other studies give results ranging from a 5% chance of a second child with autism to a 15% chance. However, if there are two children in the family who have autism, the chance of a third child with autism increases greatly to about 30%. (One study indicates that the chance of a third child with autism is 50% if the child is male.)
Can a child end up with autism?
No one 'ends up' with autism - a person is born autistic.
Can autism develop in a child of 7?
No, Autism cannot develop in a child of 7 or in anyone. Autism is a difference in how the brain is formed, it develops during the second trimester and as such Autistic people are born - a person cannot be born neurotypical and develop Autism, it doesn't work like that.
