Which disorder is sometimes referred to as a milder form of autism?

Speech Sound Disorder

Pervasive Development Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)

Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) is sometimes referred to as a milder form of autism because it shares many similar characteristics with autism, such as social and communication difficulties, but may not meet all the criteria for an official autism diagnosis.

The other options are incorrect because

- Speech Sound Disorder is a specific speech disorder and is not related to autism.

- Intellectual Disability is a separate disorder and is not considered a milder form of autism.

- Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder is a specific disorder related to difficulty with speech fluency and is not a form of autism.
