Everything about Regressive Autism totally explained

Regressive autism occurs when a child appears to develop typically but then starts to lose speech and social skills at about the age of 18 months and is later diagnosed with autism. Other terms used to describe regression in children with autism are autism with regression, autistic regression, setback-type autism, and acquired autistic syndrome. There is no standard definition for regression, Some children lose social development instead of language; some lose both. After the regression, the child follows the standard pattern of autistic neurological development. The term refers to the appearance that neurological development has reversed; it's actually only the affected developmental skills, rather than the neurology as a whole, that regresses. It is more usual for autistic neurological development to not include such aberrations, with age-appropriate autistic symptoms being clear from birth.
   Skill loss may be quite rapid, or may be slow and preceded by a lengthy period of no skill progression; the loss may be accompanied by reduced social play or increased irritability.
   Other disorders that involve regression are total blindness from birth, childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett syndrome and Landau-Kleffner syndrome.
