What is another word for regressive autism?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪɡɹˈɛsɪv ˈɔːtɪzəm] (IPA) 
The term "regressive autism" is used to describe a subcategory of autism where children start to lose language and social skills after a period of normal development. Although it is a widely accepted term, some experts prefer to use different terms to describe this particular type of autism. Other synonyms include "autistic regression," "loss of language and communication skills autism," "late onset autism," and "developmental regression with autistic features." Each of these terms aims to capture the same phenomenon, but some experts prefer to avoid the term "regressive autism" because it implies that the child's condition is getting worse, while in reality, it is a different type of autism with unique characteristics.
