Autism

Mental retardation is a side effect of Down Syndrome. Down syndrome or trisomy 21 (or Down's Syndrome in British English) is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra Twenty-first chromosome. Children with Down syndrome tend to share certain physical features such as a flat facial profile, an upward slant to the eyes, small ears, a single crease across the center of the palms, and an enlarged tongue. A doctor can usually tell if a newborn has the condition through a physical exam. Down Syndrome also causes mild to moderate mental retardation.

Find a hidden talent. I got very popular at school for my drawings, and I made plenty of friends.

No, fast food doesn't cause autism - autism is a neurological difference that people are born with, eating fast-food cannot cause a person to become autistic.

I do not believe that it's mentioned in the movie that John's father is slightly autistic.. but in the book it does say that he has Asperger's syndrome.

Contact Wirral Autistic Society for advice. They look after high dependancy autistic patcients who often have multiple conditions.

Non-verbal learning disability/disorder is not technically on the autism spectrum list, however some theorize that it is a form of autism. Some also speculate that NVLD (or NLD) and Asperger Syndrome are not only closely related but may be the same disorder.

If a child has a diagnosis and an IEP in place (this answer pertains to U.S. law only) the IDEA law explicitly forbids the district from taking administrative action, when the behavior is a symptom of the child's diagnosis. If this is happening or policy is in question a parent can assert a child's Stay Put Right, which would mean the school is legally obligated to have the child remain in the class room until a mediator determines the appropriate course of action. (disclaimer: I do not practice law and this should not be taken as legal advice.)

That is the correct spelling of the surname Asperger, used for the medical condition Asperger Syndrome, which affects perception, attention, and nonverbal communication.

also referred to as Rett's disorder or by the compound name of autism , dementia , ataxia , and loss of purposeful hand use.

Gurudwara is a Sikh temple. Hindu temples are known after the chief deity of the temple. For example the sea-side temple in Gujarat of Somnath is known after the Somnath (Master of the Moon) form of Lord Shiva.

Autism has nothing to do with vaccination. It is to do with the fact that they are psychedelic beings destined to surpass normal humans. Autism is seemingly rare in Japan anyway, due to the low birth rates and high suicide rates.

No, Autism cannot be detected by ultrasound and hopefully pre-natal screening for Autism will not be developed during the time that ableism still exists against Autistic people. Autism can only be diagnosed through assessment by a trained professional who assesses behaviour.

Autism is not mental or physical per say, nor is it always a disability.

Autism is a neurological difference - some people with autism do consider themselves disabled because of the way autism effects them, but many autistic people live just like neurotypical people so do not consider their autism to be a disability at all.

Autism is a broad category and the answer is likely to be no. A young child should not be left alone. Even for a child in their teens, it is more likely that the child would need supervision for their own safety. A parent who leaves a special needs child home alone without appropriate supervision would be charged with neglect and placing the child at risk. There are so many bad outcomes possible in that situation.

However, the answer depends on numerous factors besides the age of the child such as the symptoms, the severity of the symptoms, the opinion of professionals who have evaluated and treated the child and the child's behavior.

No - 'special ed student' refers to a student who needs additional learning support in school or college, most autistic people do not require additional learning support.

It will depend on the severity of a persons autism if they can serve in the Singapore National Service.

Subjects like PE and Drama use lots of group activities, which people with Asperger's Syndrome find harder.

They can digest the same food as everybody else. However, children with autism might have sensory issues with certain foods. They might be insensitive to moderately spicy foods, preferring to eat spicy foods that seem to have some flavor to them. They might be extra sensitive to spiciness, preferring extra bland foods. They might have a sensitivity to touch, causing them to gag on foods with certain textures. They might dislike certain foods that have too intense an odor.

In addition to that, they often prefer the same routines, so they might want to have the same breakfast every day, the same lunch, and the same dinner. They might make exceptions for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions, but they might not.

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.

I'm going to guess, in the United States, no, not legally. One of the ineligible classes for owning a gun is defined as: any person/people "adjudicated as mental defectives or incompetents or those committed to any mental institution." I don't enough about Autism to define it, but I suspect it falls into that category. As long as you have a gun permit then you can have a gun. And you can have autism.
