  2. GI disorders are four times more common among children with autism than among other children
  3. Children with autism don't indicate that they have abdominal pain.

  1. behavior difficulties, language deficits, social weaknesses, impulsivity, learning deficits and unusual motor behavior.
  2. a history of chronic diseases.
  3. hearing impairment, extremely high intelligence, and schizophrenia.
