Nope. I know this because my brother has autism. AND I NEVER HEARD OF ONE.
Take care!
XD
No - autism is a neurological condition so it cannot show in a blood test, the only way to diagnose autism is with intensive assessment with a trained professional.
No, there is no genetic test for autism - to be diagnosed you have to be assessed by autism specialist, asking questions about problems you face and early development.
There is no medical test for autism
The best way to see if you have mild Autism is to see a specialist.
Please see related links for a information page on Autism.
It comes down to a simple urine test. The chemical bufotenin makes up most of the autistic individual and is easy to detect. If it is not found within the urine, then the person must have some other obscure disorder.
It's genetic, and recessive - get a test to see if you're a carrier. If you already have it than wait until gene manipulation becomes common.
It is a scientific test which studies someones DNA. The reason for the test is usually to see if someone is at risk of contracting certain hereditary diseases such as Prostate Cancer. Another reason for such a test is in criminology to see if the person's DNA matches that of criminal evidence left at a crime scene.
There are a lot of different speculations about why people get autism. Some researchers have theorized that autism is caused by heavy metal buildup in the body, but other evidence has shown that theory to be somewhat shaky and possibly untrue. Other evidence suggests that autism is primarily a genetic disorder. This theory seems to be gaining popularity, and so far no studies have been able to disprove this theory. In fact, there have been several reported cases of parents being diagnosed with asperger's syndrome (a more mild form of autism) after their children have received the same diagnoses. Well said above and additionally, there is an environmental factor that triggers the genetic predisposition that basically kicks the autism into gear. What the trigger is remains unknown and has been speculated it varies from individual to individual.
No, autism cannot cause you to go blind. Autism is a neurological difference, it has no effect on the eyes and cannot lead to blindness at all.
A blood test is a test that the doctor takes a sample of your blood to test it to see if you have any medical conditions or diseases, etc.
AnswerAsperger Syndrome is one of the diagnoses included in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and there are many factors which may contribute to the structural abnormalities in the developing brain that are responsible for the behaviors often seen in ASD. The National Institute of Mental Health has a summary page on the causes of ASD which can be found in the link below entitled Research into Causes and Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Here are a couple of quotes from that article:Evidence points to genetic factors playing a prominent role in the causes for ASD. Twin and family studies have suggested an underlying genetic vulnerability to ASDandRecent neuroimaging studies have shown that a contributing cause for autism may be abnormal brain development beginning in the infant's first months. This"growth dysregulation hypothesi" holds that the anatomical abnormalities seen in autism are caused by genetic defects in brain growth factors. It is possible that sudden, rapid head growth in an infant may be an early warning signal that will lead to early diagnosis and effective biological intervention or possible prevention of autism.From these articles and the studies they are based on, it looks like the primary causes of Autism, and thus Aspergers is genetic. Additionally, there is no link between childhood vaccines and autism. Please see the link below entitled Vaccines and Autism.Answer:Because of the twin studies showing that if one identical twin has autism or Asperger's Syndrome, the other twin almost but not always has it, it is suspected that sometimes the genetic aspect of autism and Asperger's Syndrome might need to be triggered by an environmental factor. This environmental factor could be prenatal or in the first months after birth.
Yes. That is the whole point of a pap test
You can't die as a result of having autism. In some cases autism is so severe that autistic people may not see potential harm such as oncoming trafic or falling into rivers, but this is uncommon. The biggest risk with autism is not the autism itself but prejudice towards autism, unfortunately many parents murder their autistic children or autistic people can be abused to the point of being killed.
No, even after the exam you will not be able to see it on any website.
