Understanding the development and outcomes of children who lose skills before they develop autism.

Description 
We are developing a cohort of children who have lost skills and developed autism, sometimes called autistic regression. Using video footage prior to their loss of skills and detailed outcome assessment over time may provide clues to the underpinnings of this presentation and information about prognosis, so keenly sought by parents.
