Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Many Faces of Autism Trailer

Autism was first described in 1943 as impairment of language development and communication skills. Since then, its name has changed to Autistic Spectrum Disorder and it includes a myriad of symptoms including impaired communication, social interactions, and repetitive behaviors which can range from mild to severe. This program describes the known pathophysiology as well as manifestations of the most common forms of the disorder, which affects 1 to 1.5 million Americans.

And what about adults with this? Kids DO grow up with autism and asperger Syndrome. Please get the word out about ADULTS with this.

I have bad news for you. The DSM-IV will be GONE in 2013. The DSM V will replace it. Asperger Syndrome will NOT be in the DSM-V, which I think is WRONG. what do you think will happen to all of thousands of children that have a real diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome. Do you think the "new" DSM -V will make professionals say "Well, that is just a made up thing, we can't help you? It is not in our book anymore, sorry". Why would those rich white men make a desicion to excude AS from the DSM-V?

@sandbar3000 That's what I've been thinking this whole time. They simply act like children with autism are worse off than adults with autism, which is, flatly, a stupid thing to do.

Do you have videos about all of the different types of Autisic Spectrum Disorders- not JUST the classic Autism or Asperger Syndrome? I know there other ASD's, but all I see is Autism and AS when I do research. Do you know anything about the other forms of ASDs? Have you worked with adults with AS?

[sandbar3000]

@kgaccount, yes I understand that it does matter to those that really have autism if this is an actor or not. But your questions will not be answered by me - since I'm not the one that tapped the video. Perhaps you can go to the person that uploaded it? Again, I watched this video some 6 months or more ago - and I'm not going to go back and watch it again to see if this person is an "Actor".

@sandbar3000 Why so defensive sandbar? I'm just asking if the boy is an ACTOR, as that would seen LUDICROUS to show "autism" by having a NON AUTISTIC child posing as one. It's a bit odd. Just saying, because it DOES matter to those of us with real authentic autistic children. ACTORS posing as autistics is just absurd.
