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".
