El comportamiento autista describe patrones de comportamiento similares a los que se ven en el autismo.
El comportamiento autista comprende:
Algunas infecciones y enfermedades del sistema nervioso (neurológicas) pueden producir síntomas como los del autismo.
El cuidado en el hogar depende de la causa del comportamiento. Siempre se deben considerar las necesidades de seguridad del niño.
La persona debe consultar con el médico si su hijo exhibe un comportamiento autista, pero no se sabe que sufra de autismo.
