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 “lifelong, neurobiological condition that significantly affects how a person perceives the world, interacts with other people and communication” (What is Autism, 2003). Autism is said to cause significant impairments in areas including, but not limited to language and cognitive development, communication processes, social interaction, sensory processing, nutrition, agility and psychological well-being. Research has revealed that while the cause of Autism is unclear it is estimated that more that 90% of the cause is due to genetics, (Klauck, 2006) “no known psychological factors in the development of the child have been shown to cause autism” (What is Autism, 2003).…

    "Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human..."(Aristotle, 328 B.C. in Aronson, 1995). We have been designed from birth to need and trust and socialize with one another in various ways. Yet, why is it so difficult for some but not for others. I have a four year old Autistic son that also has severe developmental delays due to prematurity and birthing complications. There are days that he gets frustrated at not even being able to communicate basic needs or just wants to be in his own world, left to his own device. That for anyone is rough, but knowing I am his mother makes it worse. Social interaction is such an important part of growing as not only a human being, but also for the brain. Even from the beginning of time man has leaned on the premise of needing that companionship and contact with the world around them.…

    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 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.…

    Case Study for Autism

    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 Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Their longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for providing help to individuals with autism and their families.
