Detecting Autism Symptoms - The Earlier The Better

By Alison Heath


Autism is a brain disorder that persists throughout adulthood and begins in early childhood, usually around the age of 3. It affects crucial areas of development.

Autistic behavior is exclusive to human beings above the age of five and children who suffer from this lacks the ability to see things from other people's perspective.

When it comes to autistic traits, they continue into adulthood but they vary in severity. There are adults with autism who earn college degrees, live independently, and does really well. Others, however, may be incorrectly diagnosed with a variety of psychiatric illness since they never developed the skills of daily living.

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder with an unknown origin. It's considered not as a mental illness but rather a bioneurological disorder. Genetics or viral and chemical exposure during pregnancy could be the cause according to some theories. Diagnosis is based on a list of psychiatric criteria as well as a series of standardized clinical tests are also used.

Surprisingly some autistic individuals may be outstandingly good at some kinds of mental manipulations for example, arithmetical calculations, music, drawing etc.

Although there are no indications of a cure for autism, with intense practice, schooling, and therapy, children with autism can improve their social and other skills until they can participate in social events.

Two of the related categories of autism are Asperger's syndrome and developmental delay syndromes. The reason why these syndromes exist is because of brain circuitry problems.

Looking for symptoms found in sensory integration dysfunction is a key indicator to physicians assessing autism, and this involves children exhibiting problems like oversensitivity to touch, sights, etc. and clumsiness, poor body awareness, and a tendency to be easily distracted. Autistic people may experience difficulty in hearing certain people's voice while others' are louder than usual.
