Profound autism refers to a subset of individuals with autism spectrum disorder who have an intellectual disability with an intelligence quotient less than 50 and minimal-to-no language and require 24-hour supervision and assistance with activities of daily living. The general pediatrician will invariably work with autistic children across the spectrum and will likely encounter youth with profound autism. Awareness of profound autism as a real entity describing autistic children with concomitant intellectual disability and language impairment who require 24-hour care is the first step in developing a solid pediatric home for these youth.
重度自闭症是自闭症谱系障碍的一个亚类，其智力残疾，智商低于 50，几乎没有语言能力，日常生活活动需要 24 小时监督和协助。一般的儿科医生都会接触到自闭症谱系的儿童，也可能会遇到重度自闭症的儿童。认识到重度自闭症是一个真实的实体，描述了同时存在智力残疾和语言障碍、需要 24 小时护理的自闭症儿童，是为这些儿童建立稳固的儿科家园的第一步。
