Real autism has severe effects most dealing with the inability to communicate or function in normal society.
But over-diagnosis of autism because the child is not well disciplined is a real problem, lack of concentration does not equal autism.

Autism ranges from mild to severe and the one common effect is the child's inability to function in a socially acceptable manner.

It depends on were your child is placed on the spectrum of Autism. My son is on the lower end of the spectrum of autism and he has memory loss, picks at his skin, nervous tics. He has a lot of problems with reading, language and math.
As far a development... mine has problems with needing a lot of reminders. taking showers, brushing teeth, getting dressed things like that. It's hard work for a parent but just keep your chin up and things work themselves out!

It depends on the severity of the autism. It can slow their speech development, even some motor skills.

Autism is not a hobby, its a way of living, without other choice. Autistic children do not show emotion. They see people merly as objects. They might not know how their action affect other people. Most of them are very bright, smarter than the average kids. A lot of them have photographic memories.

Depends on where the child is on the autism spectrum. My son has trouble with speech/expressive language/social skills and some learning difficulties...also has repetitive motor "ticks", in the form of arm flapping, and verbal "noises".
