Left untreated, ASD can worsen in severity.
Symptoms of autism in children fall into two major categories: communication challenges and restricted and repetitive behaviors.
Communication Challenges

They could also repeat these behaviors very often.
These conditions might last throughout their lives or might diminish in severity at different stages of the condition.
Its often difficult for many co-occurring disorders to be diagnosed because autistic people often have communication difficulties.
However, in the latest version of the manual, AS has been grouped with ASD.
As a result, people formerly diagnosed with AS are now considered to be on the autistic spectrum.
As autistic children grow, some of these symptoms may disappear or lessen in severity with proper care.
However, autism is a lifelong condition, and no cure currently exists for it.
Sometimes symptoms of ASD might also be indicative of other developmental disorders.
