The opposite rationalization may very well be that autism recognized throughout childhood and in a while are literally completely different types of the situation.
The examine revealed within the journal Nature helps the latter idea.

“Folks recognized with autism later in life are genetically extra much like these with consideration deficit hyperactivity dysfunction (ADHD),” Thomas Bourgeron, a examine co-author and researcher at France’s Pasteur Institute, informed AFP.
