Autistic Entrcolitis

[Chessman]

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping there's some medical people around, I need to find the symptoms of this particular branch of Autism, I can find loads of info on the web, but no description of outward symptoms, like behaviour, stature. etc. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated, I should add, that I do know what symptoms make up classic Autism, but I really do need to find out about this one. Thanks.

I've never heard of that one. I'd be very interested to read responses too.

Do you mean Autistic Enterocolitis? the one that is linked to late onset Autism and the MMR???? or is that a different one?

Unfortunately, I mispelt it, yes, that the one.
