Anyone willing to answer some questions about autism??

Question:

I wanted to know.Do you grown out of Autism
What are the different levels.and can a person with Autism drive and function like a normal person?? What are some basics in thier daily lives?

Answers:
It depends what you can do on the severity of the situation. My nephew has autism (very slight) and can do everything that everyone else can. He has been with an aide for elementary school, but going into Jr. High I think he is on his own. The only thing he needs help with is his social skills, but what 10 year old boy doesn't?
If the case of autism is more severe the person needs more intervention in their life. I don't think you "grow out" of autism as much as you grow INTO it.

Other Answers:
My nephew is high functioning autistic. they don't grow out of it, they learn to adapt themselves to the world. My nephew has trouble with eye contact and is lacking in basic social skills. He is a smart little boy. I hope I've helped some.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

With intense therapy and practice and schooling, some children diagnosed with autism can improve their social and other skills to the point where they can fully participate in mainstream education and social events, but there are no indications that a cure from autism is possible with current technology or advances in medicine.
