Autism

No, not necessarily. Most people will match some or many of the symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome (AS) to an extent, but not to a level that it causes impairments. A person with AS can experience the symptom 10 to 100 times worse than the typical person, which will cause impairments in that area. Some characteristics are more likely to be indicators of AS at any level of severity, such as the inability to interpret nonverbal language.

Children with AS learn to talk at the usual age and often have above-average verbal skills. They have normal or above-normal intelligence and the ability to feed or dress themselves and take care of their other daily needs.

To be "x-linked" means that a trait is carried on the X-Chromosome.

Recall that each child receives one chromosome from each parent, a male receiving one X and one Y -chromosome, and a female receiving two X -chromosomes.

Because the male receives only one X-chromosome, he only need receive one X with a particular trait to be affected, whereas the female would need two Xs with traits to be affected.

So, Asperger's Syndrome is more prevalent among males, as they only need receive one X-chromosome with Asberger's on it.

This Asperger's-X must be from the mother, as the father would give the Y-chromosome required for a male. Since the mother has two X-chromosomes that might be affected (depending on if she has the Syndrome, or is just a carrier), there is a 75% chance the male will have Asperger's Syndrome if the mother has at least one Asperger's-X.

Conversely, a female must have one Asperger's-X from each parent, so if the mother has two Asperger's-X -chromosomes, the daughter will still only be a carrier (and so not have Asperger's Syndrome), if the father also carries the trait on his X-chromosome.

The experimental group was exceedingly small. Much of the data was falsified. The author, Andrew Wakefield, had a financial interest in creating doubt about the MMR vaccine and allowing his potential vaccine to replace it. The study was also not properly peer-reviewed before it was published.

Autism is believed to be genetic, it's more strongly linked to the father but can be a result of both parents genes. There are theories that Autism is not just linked to specific genes but to pairs of genetic mutations from both parents, that when paired result in Autism.

The offensive names for calling someone with autism is retard, dumdum,blockhead, dunce, dunderhead hammerhead, knucklehead, loggerhead, lunkhead, muttonhead, numskull, poor fish, pudden-head, pudding head, stupe

Many teen boys are interested in reading books and other materials through which they learn something, such as the history of a favorite sport or even car manuals. They find pleasure in becoming an expert on something.

One way you can encourage teens to diversify their reading is to explore different kinds of reading about the topics that interest them. And don’t count out online reading or audiobooks.

Through your genes.

Some good toys to give to an autistic child can be things that stimulates their mind and engage in the item. These toys can be a book, a puzzle, a board game, and arts and crafts.

The exact same thing that has been causing autism at any other point in history. We don't know the full cause of autism, but primarily it's considered to be a genetic mutation either in one parent or both.

The earliest age to tell if your child is developing autism is by 12 months. The most dominant thing that can tell you is if your child is not responding to basic tasks/things, like your voice or their name.

According to information about Ulillillia, people speculate that he has either autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However, some think he has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) instead. Still others believe he has both OCD and an autism spectrum disorder.

By calling on one of the individual neurologists, therapists and professional centers with experience in diagnosing mild autism in children.

it shouldn't affect a baby's ability to crawl

Respect the stim!

The rhythmic rocking is known as stimming, it is what autistic people do to calm themselves and so it is an important coping strategy of someone with autism. This is done because autistic people can get overwhelmed by all the sensory input and other things such as the strain of attempting to act like neurotypical people, stimming allows a controllable strong sensory input that the autistic person can focus on to drown out other sensory stimulation.

As long as the child isn't harming themselves or others just let them continue to stim whenever they need to, this is normal and healthy. Learn to recognise whether the stim is just about self-regulation or a sign that the child is stressed, if they are stressed then avoid interacting with the child as that adds additional stress and look at what could be causing stress - e.g. if they're in a loud place sensory input may be too much for them, try to make the area quieter or move the child somewhere quiet so they can calm down.

Some autistic children stack their toys because they appreciate the order. Autistic people often seek order because it is a constant within a world that can seem confusing and disorganized.

Some autistic children do walk on their toes, this is related to sensory issues. Autistic people are more sensitive to sensation, this doesn't mean we have higher senses but that our brains are more sensitive to stimulation via the senses. In the case of toe-walking it's often because the feeling of your whole foot hitting the floor can feel like it resonates throughout your body.

As an autistic Infant Caregiver, I think it's not a good idea to try to diagnose autism in an infant that young. It's almost impossible to diagnose it before 24 months. Signs usually appear when the infant is a one year old, not when they are 9 months old.Lack of eye contact, social interaction in an infant, might possibly be signs that the child has not received and experienced emotional love. This should be addressed by gently interacting with the baby, showing them love, putting yourself in their range of vision so that eye contact is made. And if it turns out a child is autistic, they still need as much love.

The vice president of a non-profit must be familiar with all the responsibilities of the president and must be ready to take over if ever the president departs.

Someone with autism can be highly functional and write about autism, or he or she can be severely disabled and need total care. And everywhere in between. Some early symptoms can be early speech, then not a word thereafter. Other symptoms include lack of eye contact, lack of affection (hugging them is actually "painful",) "flipping or flapping" their hands or objects, crying and being self abusive, obsessed with certain objects or activities, repetitive behaviors, not meeting "normal" milestones, odd eating rituals (will eat only 3-4 food items) and many other behaviors. There is no magic cure. Do some research, love your child and work to have them achieve what "professionals" say they will never do. There is a difference between autism and autism spectrum disorders. Autism is one of five autism spectrum disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders. There are differences in symptoms, but they also have several similarities. Each of the autism spectrum disorders can range in severity from mild to extreme. Each can occur with additional conditions that make life more complicated. For example, a person with autism might also have retardation and epilepsy, or a person with Asperger's Syndrome might also have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also, some aspects of the condition could be mild while others are extraordinarily severe, so it might appear mild in many situations and become a serious issue in only a few situations. In addition, the more intelligent the person, the more likely he or she will have found ways to work around some of the difficulties of the condition, so it could appear less severe than it actually is.

Why do we exist at all, any of us? Autism is who a person is, it's as much a part of a person as their race or their sex, and it is as much a variation in humankind as different eye colours, skin colours, etc. Autism is simply a variation in humankind, it needs no more explanation than this.

The Age of Autism is an investigation by Dan Olmsted the global epidemic of Autism and the relationship between Autism and mercury poisoning. It was written from January 2005 to July 2007.
