Approximately just under half of all individuals with CdLS display symptoms of ASD. The three core characteristics of ASD include: Poor or unusual social interaction skills,  Delayed development or difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication (e.g. gestures, pointing, showing, etc) and the presence of repetitive behavior.
