Abstract
This disorder can be diagnosed during the childhood. The signs and symptoms of autism can affect the communication, social interactions and repetitive behaviors. People with autism can have very different characteristics and symptoms not always could be the same ones.
Children with this disorder may have trouble to speak or be so distracted when you are talking to them. They may have to do another activity first to then be able to pay attention to you, or say the same phrase over and over again to calm down. They may flap their arms to indicate that they are happy, or hurt to show that they are not. Some people with autism never learn to speak. The causes of autism are unanswered. When been diagnose autism and aware of not cure for it, patients must live with this disorder throughout of the whole life. There is no cure for autism, but treatment can help. Treatments include behavioral therapies of communication and they help to control the symptoms.

    Autism is a condition that effects the development and behavior of a person. It is usually identified in early childhood and is diagnosed by recognizing three deficiencies. These include; impaired social skills, communication and repetitive behaviors. Children with autism show limited interest in people and have difficulties identifying emotions. Autism is a condition that children are born with, although the cause is still unknown. The dramatic increase of autism over the past two decades, has raised many questions to weather it is an epidemic. It is evident that numbers of people being diagnosed are rising, although there are still not justifiable reasons as to why. Many Scientists believe that autism is in fact fiction because the diagnosis criteria for autism broadened in the 1990’s, epidemiology is not an accurate way of testing and because there were records of children with autism before the 1990’s.…

    At a training of paraprofessionals in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), statistics were shared on the number of students in the school system with an ASD diagnosis. It has become the third most common childhood illness. A child is diagnosed with Autism every twenty minutes in the United States. In the LCPS 10.6% (625) of Individualized Education Programs (IEP) are dedicated to students with Autism (Buswell, 2009). These figures indicate teachers need to understand how to modify teaching strategies and learn definitive steps that must be taken to implement individual strategies that match each student’s individual needs and empower students to succeed. Characteristics of students with autism all share developmental delays in three areas of development: social,…

    Autism was unknown and unheard of in the ancient cultures and medieval times. This disorder just so happened to “appear” approximately 60 years ago. The numbers each year continue to rise. According to research, studies based on the prevalence and evolution of autism, fifteen years ago, the likelihood was one to two children per 10,000 (Sharpe, 2007). Studies show that in 2010, the overall prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder was 14.7 per 1,000 children who are aged eight years. To further simplify, one in 68 children will be affected or diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (PubMed, 2010). Now, 50 families a day learn that their child has autism (Sharpe, 2007). This once rare diagnosis has climbed to epidemic proportions and numbers…

    Autism is a developmental disorder that causes an impaired social interaction and communication among the individuals affected. It is classified as a spectrum disorder because it affects a variety of people to various degrees (Autism Society of America, 2009). The cause of autism is unknown but some blame vaccinations like MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and the influenza vaccination on the cause because they both contain thimerosal, which is a mercury based preservative (CDC Website, 2009), is a compound that kills or prevents the growth of microorganism, such as bacteria or fungi (FDA Website, 2007). The unknown onset of autism causes the argument of whether or not thimerosal is the contributor or the blame for the onset of autism.…

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autistic disorder, sometimes called autism or classical ASD, is the most severe form of ASD, while other conditions along the spectrum include a milder form known as Asperger syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS). Although ASD varies significantly in character and severity, it occurs in all ethnic and socioeconomic groups and affects every age group. Experts estimate that 1 out of 88 children age 8 will have an ASD (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, March 30, 2012). Males are four times more likely to have an ASD than females.Autism Speaks' multi-year Ad Council public service advertising campaign stresses the importance of recognizing the early signs of autism and seeking early intervention services. Recent research confirms that appropriate screening can determine whether a child is at risk for autism as young as one year. While every child develops differently, we also know that early treatment improves outcomes, often dramatically. Studies show, for example, that early intensive behavioral intervention improves learning, communication and social skills in young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).…
