A member asked:
Are chromosomal disorders considered as autism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Many kids with chromosome disorders have difficulties with communication and behavior and function similar to autistic or pdd patients in the autism spectrum. By convention, having such a medical diagnosis makes such a label inappropriate.
