For the autism definition, according to a recent article by the American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society, “Autism and pervasive developmental disorders encompass a wide continuum of associated cognitive and neurobehavioral disorders, including the core defining features of impaired socialization, impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior… diagnosis of this condition is not made until 2 to 3 years after the symptoms are recognized, primarily because of concerns about labeling or incorrectly diagnosing the child.”

Despite these concerns, many children continue to be labeled “autistic” and carry this inaccurate, symptom-based diagnosis for years.
