Some children outgrow autism


WASHINGTON - Some children diagnosed as autistic at a young age see their symptoms completely disappear when they get older, new research shows.

The small-scale study - published in the "Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry" - included 34 subjects who were diagnosed very early on with the disorder but who, by ages 18 to 21, no longer exhibited any signs of it.
