I did not know how much more likely it was to strike boys than girls. Thanks for the info.
I had no idea that it affects boys more than girls.
1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism….
I learned that sadly there are no effective means to prevent autism.
I can’t believe how many children are diagnosed with this each year. I pray that something can be found soon!
That the types of food eaten can make a different on the symptoms
Autism affects boys more than girls…interesting.
I am amazed that “67 children are diagnosed per day!”
Lets face it strides are being made in the field of autism research; however we are still in the prehistoric era of this developmental disease/ As a therapist who has worked with autistic children, two friends who each have one autistic child each; we have not doen anything except for npotism to the families, therapy intervention stragtegiests with more team approaches needed for each autistic individual. Many Thanks
I thought my son was a little behind, but he has passed the “milestones” on the website, that I feel a little better.
From the website “Autism Speaks”, I learned that there are different spectrums of autism that range to high functioning as in “Asperger’s Syndrome”.
Children with autism are often easily distracted. They also tend to have behavioral issues in school. I actually interned in some elementary schools one in which I helped a student who was autistic. He was the smartest 1st grader I’ve ever met, but he was always getting in trouble at school :(
My sister is pregnant with her second baby (yay!) and I know she could use this!!!
