    What is Autism ?

    Autism, is a Neurodevelopment Disorder, Characterised by challenges with social communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviours. Autism affects information processing (which delays language processing in most cases) in the brain which causes many autistic children with learning and reading difficulties.

    AUTISM Facts and Figures Based on WHO Report, It is estimated that worldwide about one in 100 children has autism which translated to a number higher than 79 Million. This estimate represents an average figure while Some well-controlled studies have, however, reported figures that are substantially higher. In the 2000s, the number of autistic people worldwide was estimated at 1–2 per 1,000 people. It is diagnosed four to five times more often in males than females. The number of people diagnosed has increased considerably since the 1990s, which may be partly due to increased recognition of the condition

    Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), are a diverse group of conditions. They are characterised by some degree of difficulty with social interaction and communication. Other characteristics are atypical patterns of activities and behaviours, such as difficulty with transition from one activity to another, a focus on details and unusual reactions to sensations.

    The abilities and needs of autistic people vary and can evolve over time. While some people with autism can live independently, others have severe disabilities and require life-long care and support. Autism often has an impact on education and employment opportunities. In addition, the demands on families providing care and support can be significant. Societal attitudes and the level of support provided by local and national authorities are important factor.

    AUTISM Early Signs

    As the research, experiences and studies indicate Autism impacts an individual throughout the lifespan. As per Autism Society USA, here are some common signs to look for:

    • Speaks later than typical or not at all (nonverbal).
    • Repetition in language or movement, such as repeating the same word or sounds, hand flapping, or any repeated movement. 
    • Atypical nonverbal communication, including avoiding eye contact, giving few facial expressions, or having a monotone.
    • Prefers solitary or parallel play rather than engaging in associative or cooperative play with other children.
    • Extremely distressed by changes, including new foods or changes in schedule.
    • Preference for predictable, structured play over spontaneous or make-believe play. 
    • Strong, persistent interest on specific topic, part of a toy, or item.

    How Does Autism Affect Communication?

    According to WebMD, About 40% of kids with autism spectrum disorders don’t talk at all, and between 25% and 30% develop some language skills during infancy but then lose them later. Some children with ASD start talking later in life.Most have some problems with communication, including:

    • Delayed speech and language skills
    • Flat, robotic speaking voice, or singsong voice
    • Echolalia (repeating the same phrase over and over)
    • Problems with pronouns (saying “you” instead of “I,” for example)
    • Not using or rarely using common gestures (pointing or waving), and not responding to them
    • Inability to stay on topic when talking or answering questions
    • Not recognising sarcasm or joking
    • Trouble expressing needs and emotions
    • Not getting signals from body language, tone of voice, and expressions

    Some Videos on Early Signs and Possible Symptoms of AUTISM

    Nutrition and Autism

    “Children with autism are often very sensitive to tastes and textures, and thus have limited diets.It may be the case that they are lacking specific nutrients important to learning and social/intellectual growth. While improved nutrition may be a helpful therapy, it seems unlikely that malnutrition can cause autism” – Verywellhealth.com

    Do vaccines cause autism?

    There is no proven connection or research that shows any correlation between vaccines and autism. Numerous studies have been done comparing autism rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. No difference has been found.One study from Japan looked at the MMR vaccine, which was withdrawn from the country due to concerns about aseptic meningitis. In that study, a statistically significant number of children were found to have developed autism even though they had not received the MMR vaccine.

    AUTISM Causes

    “There is no known single cause for autism spectrum disorder, but it is generally accepted that it is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain scans show differences in the shape and structure of the brain in children with autism compared to in neuro-typical children. Researchers do not know the exact cause of autism but are investigating a number of theories, including the links among heredity, genetics and medical problems”

    “It also appears that some children are born with a susceptibility to autism, but researchers have not yet identified a single “trigger” that causes autism to develop. Other researchers are investigating the possibility that under certain conditions, a cluster of unstable genes may interfere with brain development, resulting in autism. Still other researchers are investigating problems during pregnancy or delivery as well as environmental factors such as viral infections, metabolic imbalances and exposure to chemicals.” – AUTISM SOCIETY USA”
