      Autism a neurological developmental disorder that affects a person's behavioral development as early as infancy.It has many forms and different degrees of limited social interaction.Not every autistic individual have the same social limitations.Autistic people are characterized by lack of response to people.They have limited ability to communicate.Self absorption is an observed trait.They like undisturbed routines.Their intelligence may be normal or above average.
     Early diagnosis of autism would greatly help the child.Loving and supportive family helps the autistic child better in his development.Parents accepting their child's condition would foster the child's social development.Encourage the child to achieve what he can do.They say that some diets helps so parents and family members must learn to make changes.Counseling,music,better schools etc. are known to greatly improve the life of an autistic child.Avoiding foods with organophospates,food colorings and preservatives would greatly help people with ADHD,a form of Autism.Organophospates are found in pesticides used in fruits and vegetables.Try to eat organically grown food.
     Researchers say environmental pollution,genetics and some vaccines,which is controversial,causes autism.Research is still going on.We hope that if only we will know the cause then maybe we will know how to prevent and cure autism.April is the month dedicated to autism.It helps remind people and make us aware to be more accepting and tolerant of others who have autism.To accept them as they are and not to force them to be "normal".

before hair removal

    The human body has places where the growth of hair is unwanted.And unwanted hair affects men and women alike.There are available creams which claim to remove hairs and waxing just to name a few but their effect is temporary.You could pluck and shave these hairs but these are not long term solutions.
     Laser Hair Removal is one of the more permanent solutions to unwanted hair removal.It may cost you more but the effect would be long term.It works for both men and women.It can safely be used in any part of the body like the the chin,back.bikini area, arm pit etc.It is fast and effective hair removal but the training and experience of the operator should be considered when contemplating laser hair removal procedure.Use and availability of newer more advance laser technology in the clinic to suit patient needs will insure a better outcome.
     The Laser Hair Removal works by using intense pulsed lights directed to the melanin of the hair follicle.It aims to damage the follicle to prevent hair growth.The number of sessions depends on the size and anatomical location of the hair.Laser hair removal is more effective on coarse black and brown hair.The treatment sessions may take 6 to 8 times with an interval of around 3 to 6 weeks before hair removal is complete.The disadvantage of laser hair removal is the possibility of hair regrowth in later years but retreatment can always be done.After the hair removal,patients are advised not pluck and wax the hair in the treated areas but to let these fall naturally.They should avoid the sun just after the treatment.
     The advantages of laser hair removal are first,it is fast since more areas can be done at once,the treatment lasts longer before regrowth of hair and only the targeted hair will be removed and so there is lesser or no skin damage in using Laser Hair Removal.
