Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD), dem sanso know as Heller syndrome den disintegrative psychosis, be a rare condition wey be characterized by a late onset of developmental delays—anaa severe den sudden reversals—insyd language (receptive den expressive), social engagement, bowel den bladder, play den motor skills.[1] Researchers no be successful in finding a cause for dis disorder.[1] CDD get sam similarities to autism wey e sam times be considered a low-functioning form of am.[2][3] Insyd May 2013, CDD be one of several subtypes of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)—wey dey include Asperger's syndrome, classic autism, den pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified—wey be subsumed into a single diagnostic term dem call "autism spectrum disorder" insyd de DSM-5 manual.[4]
CDD be originally described by Austrian educator Theodor Heller (1869–1938) insyd 1908, 35 years before Leo Kanner den Hans Asperger describe autism. Heller previously use de name dementia infantilis for dis disorder.[5]
An apparent period of fairly normal development be often noted before regressions insyd skills occurs.[6] De age at wich dis regression fi occur varies,[7] buh regression after three years of normal development be typical.[8] De regression, dem know as a prodrome, fi be so dramatic say de kiddie fi be aware of am, den fi insyd ein beginning even ask, vocally, wat dey happen to dem.[9] Sam kiddies dey describe anaa appear to be reacting to hallucinations, buh de most obvious symptom be dat skills apparently attain be lost. Chaw kiddies be already sam wat delay wen de disorder cam be apparent, buh dese delays no always be obvious insyd young kiddies. Chaw writers describe de condition ein impact as devastating, wey dey affect both de family den de individual ein future. As be de case plus all PDD categories, der be considerable controversy about de right treatment give CDD.
