A new study suggests that kids with autism may be doing better than thought in at least some developmental categories.
The study consisted of 272 kids with autism, where experts found that nearly 80% of them were doing well in at least one of five developmental areas by the age of 10. In contrast, almost one-quarter were doing well in four of those areas.
Experts suggest that the results suggest a positive approach to autism spectrum disorder or ASD. The reason is that the study took in a broader view of what doing well means.
They defined it not only in the traditional way kids with autism have excellent skills that are the same as their peers who are kids with autism. The meaning also included growth, where they described children that improved in a skill area over time.
