26. Pervasive Development Disorder Between 2 to 6 children per 1,000 children (from 1 in 500 to 1 in 150) have some form of autism/PDD Some or all of the following characteristics may be observed in mild to severe forms: • Communication problems (e.g., using and understanding language); • Difficulty relating to people, objects, and events; • Unusual play with toys and other objects; • Difficulty with changes in routine or familiar surroundings; and • Repetitive body movements or behaviour patterns. • Children with autism or PDD vary widely in abilities, intelligence, and behaviours. Some children do not speak; others have language that often includes repeated phrases or conversations. Children with more advanced language skills tend to use a small range of topics and have difficulty with abstract concepts. Repetitive play skills, a limited range of interests, and impaired social skills are generally evident as well. Unusual responses to sensory information—for example, loud noises, lights, certain textures of food or fabrics—are also common.
