Abstract
Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) are a group of neuro-developmental syndromes
characterized by disturbances of social interaction, language and communication, presence of
stereotyped behaviour and interests. Nowadays more and more cases of pervasive developmental
disorder are being diagnosed due to availability of more refined diagnostic criteria. There are
wide variations in final outcome. Follow-up studies predict a poor or very poor long-term
outcome. With best of my knowledge adult manifestations of child hood autism are still not
reported from India. We will discuss the clinical manifestations and outcome of a previously
diagnosed case of childhood autism in a 21-year-old adult.
