What is another word for infantile autism?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪnfəntˌa͡ɪl ˈɔːtɪzəm] (IPA) 
Infantile autism is a developmental disorder characterized by impaired communication, social interactions, and repetitive behaviors. Nowadays, the term "infantile autism" is less commonly used due to changes in diagnostic criteria and the recognition of autism as a spectrum disorder. Instead, other terms are used to describe autism, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), and Asperger's syndrome. These terms reflect the complex and varied nature of autism, acknowledging that individuals with autism can have a wide range of symptoms and abilities. While the term "infantile autism" may still be used in some contexts, it is important to recognize that it only reflects a limited aspect of this complex disorder.
