Childhood disintegrative disorder

Alternate Names : Disintegrative psychosis, Heller syndrome

Treatment

Treatment is the same for autistic disorder (autism) because of the similarity in the two disorders.

Prognosis (Expectations)

Unfortunately, the prognosis for this disorder is limited. The loss of functioning will likely be permanent. However, to some degree, behaviors can be modified.

Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call your provider if your child has any delays in development or starts to lose developmental abilities.
