The two categories, the two types, if you want to call it that, of autism spectrum disorder.
00:04
I don't like to call them types because one feature does not necessarily mean that you don't have aspects of the other feature.
00:11
But we usually look at autism spectrum disorder and categorize it in one of two ways based on the majority of the features that are observed.
00:18
So just real quickly, what is autism spectrum disorder again? autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder.
00:25
So basically it impacts an individual's development into adulthood that is generally recognizing.
00:30
In young children.
00:31
It is also generally characterized by features such as difficulty with social interactions.
00:36
So communication, interacting, picking up social cues is hard.
00:40
It's difficulty in communication.
00:42
And it can also mean having a small range of interest in limited repetitive behaviors.
00:46
So that's the definition overall.
00:49
So basically from there, you can see someone with autism spectrum disorder then predominantly demonstrates one of the two features.
00:56
They probably have both, but they're going to be very evident in one set of those features...
