normal child (by exclusion of others) stranger anxiety is common from 7-11 months, so this child has outgrown that period. But still separation anxiety from primary caregiver can be normal till 3-4 years... so dont know if it can be normal child..... what's the answer?

lack of separation anxiety is an important feature of autism. they are oblivious to the environment they are in. they dont show anticipatory rise of both arms when an adult tries to lift them.they have mental retardation. they like sameness. they rock and forth and show aggression once their sameness is disturbed.they possess one unusual skill usually. this pervasive developmental disorder is more in males and develops earlier than 30 months. there is a CLASSIC association with RUBELLA.

Asperger's disorder is a mild form of autism, so do Asperger's disorder patients also have seperation anxiety?
