Raymond Le Blanc edited the memorable quotes of Autism & Asperger's Syndrome in Layman's Terms 3 weeks ago.

• Added a quotation: “Though some of the developmental disabilities are easy to spot just by looking at somebody’s physical appearance, autism is actually not that easy to distinguish because there are usually no physical deformities or distinguishing characteristics that accompany it.”
• Added a quotation: “The diagnosis of autism can’t be made by any clinical method like laboratory research (blood tests), scanning (MRI), or hereditary research (chromosomes). Autism remains a diagnosis based on subjective information.”

  Notes

Raymond Le Blanc edited the glossary entries of Autism & Asperger's Syndrome in Layman's Terms 3 weeks ago.

• Added a term: Autism: Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills.
• marked the description of Autism as not a spoiler
• Added a term: Asperger's Syndrome: Asperger syndrome, also known as Asperger's syndrome or Asperger disorder, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.
