Autism Spectrum Australia. Characteristics. Autism is characterised by marked difficulties in behaviour, social interaction, communication and sensory sensitivities. Some of these characteristics are common among people on the spectrum; others are typical of the disability but not necessarily exhibited by all people on the autism spectrum.
A new study finds that children with a genetic disorder may be misdiagnosed as autistic because their social impairments are similar to characteristics of autism. The genetic disorder is called 22q11.2 deletion syndrome; kids with the disorder typically present with developmental delays similar to autistic children. high prevalence of autism spectrum disorder has been reported in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome â as high as 50 percent based on parent-report measures.
