What is Profound Autism?
Simply stated, people with profound autism require lifetime, 24/7 care. The definition of autism has evolved over the years, creating an increasingly heterogeneous spectrum. While the entire spectrum deserves recognition and support, profound autism is a term intended to provide clarification about autistic people who:
- Require 24/7 care from an adult caregiver throughout their lives;
And also:
- Present with an IQ below 50;
- or have minimal or no language.
Based on previous work by the Lancet Commission
