Autism

Sensory processing disorder is purely about a persons ability to process sensory input, for example they may be more sensitive to touch, light, sound, scent, or taste. Autism includes sensory processing disorder but also includes social skills problems, social communication problems, and can be comorbid with other conditions such as ADHD.

There's no such thing as 'high functioning autism' this is considered an offensive term among Autistic people because it suggests some people with Autism are better than others, it is a judgement not a diagnosis or a formal standard as assessing Autism.

I think it is about 1 in every 150 kids. however, it is more common in males, but i am not sure why.

It is FOUR times more likely in males, however Autism affects people of ALL racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

Luckily the amount of child with autism has gone down. It use to be 1 in 150 but, now it's 1 in 110. Not much of a difference but, it counts.

Sensitvity to foods

Autism is certainly a sensory condition affecting one or more of the child's senses:

Touch: A child with Autism could be very sensitive to touch and may resist close

contact, hugging etc. even from even his parents.

Sound: Certain sounds could be unbearable to an autistic child. He may even hold

his ears when hearing some voices or sounds. Some children with extreme sound

sensitivity will respond better if the teacher talks to them in a low whisper.

Taste: Certain food textures could be unpalatable to a child with Autism.

Some children will only eat a select few foods.

Sight: One autistic adult stated that he could not stand to look at the color yellow.

Smell: Some children may show a strong preference for certain, often unusual odors.

You should bear this in mind when setting up your child's learning environment and be prepared to make any adjustments.

One book on sensory issues, although focusing on children with Asperger's Syndrome, also has information that would be applicable to children with autism: "Asperger's Syndrome and Sensory Issues: Practical Solutions for Making Sense of the World" by Brenda Smith Myles, et. al.

Zellweger syndrome is diagnosed by measuring metabolic compounds in blood samples from patients. Various fatty acids, plasmalogens, pipecolic acid, and bile acid intermediates are usually studied

Sometimes it depends on why the autistic individual is unhappy. But it doesn't mean they are not happy at all. They can show happiness but not like how neurotypicals usually do. They know how to laugh and smile but not when other people do so.

heres a couple:

is you child 3 or over and there not talking?

is your child having trouble listening to others?

is she/he always in their own little world?

do they pay attention to their surroundings?

sorry i can't do fifteenq! >:(

People with autism often see issues and communications in a very literal, yes or no, on or off, black or white way. Not everyone with autism is like this, but it is quite common among people with autism spectrum disorder. For example, one young man was told that a semester final paper was due at the start of class, 10 AM, and that no late papers would be accepted. He stayed up all night completing the work but did not put it into his backpack when he left the dorm room. When the professor called for all of the papers to be handed in, the student _could_ have and _should_ have asked permission to run back to the dorm and get it but he took the assignment absolutely literally, did not turn the paper in, and failed the college course.

No, autism isn't worse today than it was 20 years ago. There are ore diagnosed cases today due to increased awareness and changes in diagnostic criteria, but nothing to say there's an increase in autism or that it's 'worse' today than it was previously.

Some autistic people don't mind being normal, they tried passing for normal because of being bullied and judged in different ways. Now they know how being normal affects them. Yes, they think that's how people are going to get attached to them- but some decide to stick with their autistic behavior. They don't like how being normal affects them and they know it's making other people happy but not themselves.

Autism is a neurological divergent, a difference in how the brain is formed compared to people such as neurotypical people, people who are bipolar, or people with ADHD. Germs cannot be spread from a neurological difference any more than they can be spread from a racial difference or a different hair colour - this question makes no sense.

Yes, an autistic person (autistic community rejects people-first language) can be a sexual predator. However it's important to point out that autistic people are no more likely to be sexual preditors than neurotypical people.

could be that disorder that makes ppl just fall asleep anytime anywhere, i can't think of it, theres a movie called Rat Race the guy in it has it, just falls asleep walking upright. that disorder.

Feral children may act similar to severally autistic children, but the conditions are different. Autism is caused by genetics, feralism is caused by extreme neglect, so feral children are technically not autistic, though I've seen theories that say only autistic children are capable of figuring out on how to live in the wild, and therefor all feral would be autistic.

If you're saying autism is a form of mental illness, it truly isn't. Autistic individuals can't understand facial expressions if a person feels depressed, happy or angry. Not many autistics understand voice tones. So when an autistic person is talking to someone, they can't tell if that person is getting tired of listening to them or even if they're in a middle of a conversation or if that person doesn't feel like having a chat. Just say in a nice way "I don't feel like talking." or "I'm not in a good mood to talk."

My Daughter is 7 years old and has Autism. Every full moon she never sleeps. It lasts for up to 3 nights. My Son is 6 years old and also has Autism but the full moon affects him in a different way, he is more tired and cranky.

HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening http://www.answers.com/topic/obstetrics complication considered by many to be a variant of http://www.answers.com/topic/pre-eclampsia. Both conditions occur during the latter stages of http://www.answers.com/topic/pregnancy, or sometimes after http://www.answers.com/topic/childbirth. HELLP is an abbreviation of the main findings: * http://www.answers.com/topic/hemolysis

* Elevated http://www.answers.com/topic/liver-function-tests-1 and

* http://www.answers.com/topic/thrombocytopenia-7

Often, a patient who develops HELLP syndrome has already been followed up for http://www.answers.com/topic/pregnancy-induced-hypertension (gestational hypertension), or is suspected to develop http://www.answers.com/topic/pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and http://www.answers.com/topic/proteinuria). Up to 8% of all cases present after delivery. There is gradual but marked onset of http://www.answers.com/topic/headache (30%), blurred vision, http://www.answers.com/topic/malaise-10 (90%), http://www.answers.com/topic/nausea-14/vomiting (30%), "band pain" around the upper http://www.answers.com/topic/abdomen (65%) and tingling in the extremities. http://www.answers.com/topic/edema may occur but its absence does not exclude HELLP syndrome. http://www.answers.com/topic/hypertension-20 is a diagnostic requirement, but may be mild. Rupture of the liver capsule and a resultant http://www.answers.com/topic/hematoma may occur. If the patient gets a http://www.answers.com/topic/seizure or http://www.answers.com/topic/coma, the condition has progressed into full-blown http://www.answers.com/topic/eclampsia. Patients who present symptoms of HELLP can be misdiagnosed in the early stages, increasing the risk of liver failure and morbidity (Padden, 1999). rarely post caesarean patient may present in shock condition mimicking either pulmonary embolism or reactionary haemorrhage. In a patient with possible HELLP syndrome, a batch of http://www.answers.com/topic/blood-test is performed: a http://www.answers.com/topic/full-blood-count, http://www.answers.com/topic/liver-function-tests-1, http://www.answers.com/topic/renal-function and http://www.answers.com/topic/electrolyte and http://www.answers.com/topic/coagulation studies. Often, http://www.answers.com/topic/fibrin degradation products (FDPs) are determined, which can be elevated. http://www.answers.com/topic/lactate-dehydrogenase is a marker of hemolysis and is elevated (>600 U/liter). http://www.answers.com/topic/proteinuria is present but can be mild. The http://www.answers.com/topic/platelet count has been found to be moderately predictive of severity: under 50 million/L is class I (severe), between 50 and 100 is class II (moderately severe) and >100 is class III (mild). This system is termed the Mississippi classification (Martin et al 1990). The exact cause of HELLP is unknown, but general activation of the coagulation cascade is considered the main underlying problem. Fibrin forms crosslinked networks in the small http://www.answers.com/topic/blood-vessel. This leads to a http://www.answers.com/topic/microangiopathic-hemolytic-anemia: the mesh causes destruction of http://www.answers.com/topic/red-blood-cell as if they were being forced through a strainer. Additionally, http://www.answers.com/topic/platelet are consumed. As the http://www.answers.com/topic/liver appears to be the main site of this process, downstream liver cells suffer http://www.answers.com/topic/ischemia, leading to periportal necrosis. Other organs can be similarly affected. HELLP syndrome leads to a variant form of http://www.answers.com/topic/disseminated-intravascular-coagulation (DIC), leading to paradoxical http://www.answers.com/topic/bleeding, which can make emergency surgery a serious challenge. The only effective treatment is delivery of the baby. Several medications have been investigated for the treatment of HELLP syndrome, but evidence is conflicting as to whether http://www.answers.com/topic/magnesium-sulfate decreases the risk of seizures and progress to eclampsia. The DIC is treated with http://www.answers.com/topic/fresh-frozen-plasma-1 to replenish the coagulation proteins, and the http://www.answers.com/topic/anemia may require http://www.answers.com/topic/blood-transfusion. In mild cases, http://www.answers.com/topic/corticosteroid and http://www.answers.com/topic/antihypertensive (http://www.answers.com/topic/labetalol, http://www.answers.com/topic/hydralazine, http://www.answers.com/topic/nifedipine) may be sufficient. Intravenous fluids are generally required. Its incidence is reported as 0.2-0.6% of all pregnancies. Of women with (pre)eclampsia, 4-12% also develop signs of a "superimposed" HELLP syndrome. Mortality is 7-35% and perinatal mortality of the child may be up to 40%. HELLP usually begins during the third trimester, and usually in Caucasian women over the age of 25. (Padden, 1999.) Rarely, cases have been reported as early as 23 weeks gestation.

The factors that affect well being includes:

Physical factors

psychological factors

Social factors

Spiritual factors

You would need to start by teaching the child about strangers, and the strangers that are not dangerous but can help, police, firemen, doctors, and mailmen. When the child is comfortable to identify these "helpful strangers" Teach him the unknown dangerous strangers.
