Different types of Autism

When we started to be aware of different disabilities, mental health, and problems, different terms words were used but now some may have changed and some may not, etc. With Autism I have seen sure research on the internet that there have some been some changes in the words, terms, etc for the types of autism but some have stopped the same. The word Autistic spectrum is classed as the main diagnosed label. Sorry if this sounds confusing but in the research, it doesn't say clearly what words, terms, etc still stands and what doesn't but these are the type of Autism it comes up with.

Autistic disorder

Asperger Syndrome

• pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)

• Finding it hard to express needs
• Playing pretend games but finding it hard to follow games with people. On the whole people with Autism tend to be more so in their world because they find it hard to understand follow things with people, mainly when it comes to games etc. 
• Finding it hard to accept change and route, having emotional meltdowns, etc.

• Most people may struggle with organization etc.
• a need to organize or rigid behavior

In older children and adults, you might also notice:

• difficulty reading body language, facial expressions, and other social cues
• not getting sarcasm, teasing, or figures of speech
• speaking in monotone
• difficulty forming relationships

Not here's the confusing part the terms for Autism don't seem to be in use any longer. The rest is on this site, which can explain better than I can. https://www.healthline.com/health/types-of-autism#previous-terminology
