    Dont know if you mean autism 
    I've seen that online but would disagree
    They still know so little about autism and seem to regularly update the dsm. 
    It's a neurodevelopmental disorder from birth not a neurological condition. 
    Like you wouldn't be referred to a neurologist for it.
    Be good to have some expert opinion here, anybody?

    The definition of ASD keeps changing and probably will do again as we learn more about it, but yes, it's a neurodevelopmental disorder, but some still insist it's a neurological disorder too. 

    You may see a neurologist in your earlier years, but that's mainly to rule other things out. Though there are some comorbidities between neurological issues and autism.

    Thank you for your feedback. I was observing something the other day . I do get mixed up very easily.   If I'@Albus_Scope my knowledge wrong I can only say Sorry again.  Hope I'm forgiven @Albus_Scope and @Bettahm .

    I have seen it referred to online as a neurological disorder when imho it isnt and definitely not everything you read online is reliable at all so it was worth you checking out. 
    Glad albus_scope was around to back me up  :smile:
