Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a diverse and complex set of developmental conditions. People are usually diagnosed with ASD on the basis of differences in:

  • Social interactions
  • Communication (verbal and non-verbal)
  • Repetitive behaviours

Most people with a diagnosis of ASD do not have any known genetic syndrome. However, many people with CdLS have certain features of ASD, and some also have a formal ASD diagnosis (this is true of several other genetic syndromes too, such as Fragile X syndrome). This means that some theories of ASD, and some known approaches to dealing with difficulties, may also be relevant to people with CdLS.
