Did you know:

Do you know that 1 in every 100 children is diagnosed with autism. Do you know that 67 children are diagnosed with autism every day. Do you now that a new case of autism is diagnosed every 20 minutes. Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability, and more children will be diagnosed with autism than pediatric AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined. Information and education are the most important weapons in the fight against this dread diagnosis. Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain. It affects the development of the individual's social interactions and limits communication skills. Autism is usually diagnosed in the first three years of a child's life. Autism is a very complex lifelong disorder. Doctors and scientist have been doing research for over the past twenty years, and they found that over twenty-five different genes can lead autism. Research has come to show that environmental factors could be a leading factor. Environmental factors could include postnatal viruses, pesticides, and flame retardants, items likely to be found in a house. The signs of autism are delayed speech, odd patterns of behavior, unusual interests, unusual responses to surroundings, and impaired social interactions are warning signs. A pediatrician, a child psychologist, a speech pathologist, an occupational therapist or an experienced teacher, is the key to the beginning of the treatment. Autism has been on the rise since 1990, and the numbers are overwhelming, and awareness of the disorder is in the early.
