What segment of the population is affected by autism?
More than 1 in 90 newborn boys will be affected by ASD, or autism spectrum disorder. It is now the most commonly diagnosed cause of mental retardation.
Is autism severe?
You are either autistic or you are not, there is no such thing as 'severe autism'. How you are affected by autism can be severe, but equally it can be mild, and how you're affected can change throughout your life.
Can a 2 year old get rid of autism?
No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.
What age group is affected by autism?
All age groups are affected by autism. Autism is a neurological difference that starts within the womb and continues throughout a persons entire life. A person is Autistic throughout their lives so at all ages, it does not just effect someone for a specific number of years or during a specific age range.
Is autism serious?
Yes, of course Autism is real - is your brain real?Autism is a neurological difference, our brains are as real as anyone elses brains. There's no way that anyone can realistically claim that Autism does not exist or is not real.
What is mild autism and how do you overcome it?
There's no such thing as 'mild autism' - a person is Autistic, how severely they are affected may vary and change over time. Autism isn't something that you overcome, it's who a person is and like any other neurology they work with their Autism rather than against it to be their best selves.
Is Autism X linked?
Autism is not traditionally x-linked. If it were x-linked dominant, all females of an affected father would have it (since they always get one x from their fathers). If it were x linked recessive, then it would skip a generation and NO male sons of an affected father would have Autism. There is evidence that there is a relation to sex, given the increased ratio of affected boys to girls, but it's a complicated mix of genetic and nongenetic causes (i.e. imprinting of genes, comorbid diagnoses).
Is it possible to fully get rid of autism?
there is no real cure for Autism. the only thing that can help stop the process of autism from getting worse is to have the affected child be in Programs that will help him cope with his disability. but the only way that autism can really be cured is if someone is not born with it, but otherwise there is no Known cure of autism
Who can be affected by autism?
Autistic people are affected by autism - autism is a neurological difference that impacts on how a person interacts and perceives the world. A person born of an Autistic parent or two Autistic parents is more likely to be Autistic themselves. Neurotypical families of Autistic people can be effected too but all too often the issue is not with autism but with stigma, ableism, and con-artists making money from families who want to try to make their Autistic children neurotypical.

Capricorn (Tropical Zodiac)
Did you cause the deficit in your son's brain if you are a mother with Asperger's Syndrome and your husband has high-functioning autism with ADD and your entire family of three children are affected?
Since all three children are affected, it is likely that your son inherited the genetic tendency for an autism spectrum disorder rather than it being a spontaneous genetic mutation. He might have inherited it from either or both parents.
