Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
Posted by editor
Childhood disintegrative disorder is a health condition in young children which develops usually until the age of 3 or 4 and can result to a severe loss of social, communication and other skills. Doctors sometimes refer to this rare disorder as similar to late-onset autism since it also involve normal childhood development which is followed by a significant loss of language, social, play and motor skills. However, autism normally happens at an earlier age and there is also a more dramatic loss of skills in children with childhood disintegrative disorder and a greater chance of mental retardation. Childhood disintegrative disorder is also far less common than autism. It is said that treatment for childhood disintegrative disorder is similar to treatment for autism.
