Autism is a disability that affects behavior, social skills, and communication skills. It is a neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's life. Autism is a vage term for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The odds for having Autism are 1 in 166 people. Autism is becoming more heard of due to more doctors being able to correctly diagnose it. Generally, Autism can be diagnosed by the age of 3, but now due to better information sharing it can sometimes be seen at 6 months. Some doctors tend to dismiss the idea of autism in small children thinking the children may catch up. Parents are usually the first to notice differences in their children when compared to children their own age. Some parents describe their child as being different from birth or having normal development and then a sudden loss in skills. The most important thing is to get help as soon as possible. Yes, it is a difficult path to walk, but it is best for your loved one with autism. |
