Wings For Autism
-- Autism can’t define me. I define Autism.--
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, speech, and nonverbal communication. Autism is a lifelong neurological condition, a developmental disorder that typically occurs in the first three years of life.
Autism appears as differences in development in three main areas: communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interactions and imagination, which can be seen in repetitive and restricted play or leisure activities.
Causes Of Autism
It has long been presumed that there is a common cause at the genetic, cognitive, and neural levels for autism's characteristic triad of symptoms
Presumed
However, there is increasing suspicion that autism is instead a complex disorder whose core aspects have distinct causes that often co-occur. Current research indicates that anything that can produce structural or functional damage to the central nervous system can produce the condition of autism.
Disorder
It is important to remember that autism is a spectrum disorder and the manifestation may vary widely across individuals. Hence it is believed that the factors that may have caused autism in a particular individual may entirely separate from those in a different individual.
Difficulty
Given all these considerations, is difficult to tell parents why their child has autism and in most cases, the cause may not ever be known.
Treatment
There are no “cures” for autism but therapies and other treatment considerations can help people feel better or alleviate their symptoms.
Many treatment approaches involve therapies such as-
- Behavioural Therapy
- Play Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Speech Therapy
