Regressive autism
Regressive autism is a manner of the neurological development of an autistic child in which they appear to develop typically, such as speech, and then start to lose those skills at about the age of 18 months, thereafter following the standard pattern of autistic neurological development. The term refers to the appearance that their neurological development has reversed; really it is only the few specific developmental skills, rather than the neurology as a whole, that regresses.
