Each child with autism spectrum disorder is likely to have a unique pattern of behavior and level of severity — from low functioning to high functioning. Some children with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty learning, and some have signs of lower than normal intelligence.
Most children show clear signs of autism before 2 or 3 years of age. However, some kids on the mild end of the spectrum might not be identified as having autism until later in childhood or even adolescence.
