As far as I know you don't grow out of Autism, it becomes managed, not an authority ok, listless, can't focus eye contact, some rock back and forth, some are brilliant at certain things like Math etc, why it can be confusing to diagnose, varying degrees as well. The child would need testing to be sure.

My kid started out with seizures (much as the same way I started out in life), then 4 years later or so he was diagnosed with autism.I feel seizures do something to the brain. I refuse to beleive this is a epidemic. Autism I feel is a ketch all, adhd is, or I have read and been told by a "professional" is in the autism range. No two autistic people are the same, and not just children have it. Rumor out that bill gates even has a touch of it.....ADD/ADHD, turrets (sp),schizophrinia,bi polar (mood disorder),depression, anxiety, seizures,learning problems gosh there are several more. The doctor wrote them down for me, but these are the things we deal with in this house, so easy to remember.......

You can't grow out of Autism, you can have behavior modifications....that's another story. What are you worried about? Is your nephew able to communicate, smile, and interact with others. If not, he may have Autism. He will need to be diagnosed by a Dr. and start therapy ASAP.
