The article describes the case of 9-year-old Connor Murphy, with autism, who exhibits repetitive behaviors such as walking in circles and falling to the floor. His father uses this behavior to establish contact with the child. Experts debate whether people with autism and very high needs should have a separate diagnosis separate from the standard autism spectrum. The term "profound autism" is proposed for those with the most severe needs, including minimal speech, the need for round-the-clock supervision and a high risk of self-harm. According to data, about 25-30 percent of people with autism fall into this very high needs category. The current diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) covers a wide range, making it difficult to target support for the most severe cases. Parents and experts emphasize the need for a specific diagnosis for better funding and research.
