What is Profound Autism?

While some autistic people are verbal and can handle daily tasks on their own, those on the other end of the spectrum require constant care and supervision. A term has recently been coined to describe them. 

Over a year ago, the Lancet Commission on the Future of Care and Clinical Research in Autism officially introduced the term “profound autism”, which describes individuals who need round-the-clock, lifelong care. Their intellectual disabilities, limited communication skills, and inability to speak for themselves make it difficult for them to perform daily tasks. However, experts say the term is appropriate for teens and adults. It may not apply to children younger than 8 years old since therapy is available to help them cope with autism symptoms.
