Autism+-+ArsalanS

Autism ** Description:  ** Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain’s normal development of social and communication skills. Autism is also a physical condition linked to abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain.  There is no definite reason for one to get autism in the genes yet. It is suspected that a person with the genes for autism might need an environmental factor, in the womb or shortly after birth, to trigger the development of autism. With autism, geneticists have discovered that some of the genetic information on some of the DNA strands of those with autism is blank. So the question is, did the blanks cause autism, or did the autism cause the blanks.
 * Inheritance: **

 **Symptoms: ** The symptoms of autism vary from person to person. One person with autism may be very verbal, bright and engaged. While another person may be non-verbal, and intellectually challenged. Some symptoms are sensory dysfunction, sleep disorders, self-abusive behavior and more.

 **Daily Life: ** A daily life of someone with Autism would probably vary, considering the seriousness of the Autism. For someone with a very non-severe type of Autism, he or she would probably wake up and do the same things as you. He might not have a lot of friends due to the lack of social communication skills, but that’s about it. For someone with a severe type of Autism, it would be chaotic. He or she would probably have a difficult time being at school. Next, a teacher would probably be with him at all times, and he will possibly need a special education program to learn.

 **Diagnosis: ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Autism varies widely in its severity and symptoms, and may go unrecognized. Doctors rely on a core group of behaviors to alert them to the possibility of a diagnosis of autism. A few are: Lack of ability to make friends with peers. Not being able to hold a conversation for a short amount of time. Not being able to play with other kids. Being stereotypical often, and repetitive. And lastly, preoccupation with certain objects. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Treatment: **<span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">There is no known cure for autism. But, there are some ways to help someone with autism; an educational program that is suitable to a student’s developmental level of performance is the most effective. For adults, the treatment is a vocational program that is suitable to the individual’s level of functioning.

There are some theories at the moment, but no one knows the real reason. There are also some other studies going on. For example, 1 in 38 children in South Korea have autism. And it’s 1 in 110 children worldwide.

There is no detection or cure for autism yet. Autism is a spectrum disorder, because of the wide variety of disorders that are possible. One child might be bright, the other mentally retarded, and one may be verbal, while the other is non-verbal. Autism can be little as social communication delays, and that’s it.
