What Is Autism – A Definition Of Autism
2 min read
Autism is a brain development disorder which can be characterized by the impairments in social interaction and communication as well as the restricted and repetitive behavior which are commonly displayed before a child is 3 years old.
It can have a huge impact on people’s lives and for those who care for the individual with autism it can be twice as challenging. When a person has autism it can make everyday simple tasks like getting washed, brushing your teeth and going to bed extremely difficult. With the repetitive behavior it can cause complications whilst performing these tasks and believe it or not it can be a very stressful job.
Many people are calling autism a condition rather than a disorder, this is wrong when it has been proven scientifically that it is a type of disorder which can develop from a young age. It is important to get the facts right when looking at an area such as autism. If you parent a child with autism it is important that you are not basing any solutions on false information. There are lots of sources around the internet in which you can find out more information on autism, it is an important issue and we need to make sure that the facts are delivered and not opinions.
Autism at the moment like most other disorders is not curable. There are ways in which we can make it easier to cope with but still that is about as much as we can do as of yet. Maybe in the future there may be an introduction of a therapy which can in time cure the disorder, but as of yet it appears to be incurable. But that does not mean that something will not come along, only time will tell as of now.
I hope that you now know a bit more about Autism and how it can affect people’s lives, this disorder needs to be made aware to the general public so that something can be done about it. The disorder is becoming more widespread across many infants and we need to do something to stop the situation from getting any worse.
