About Autism Treatment
Need some facts about autism for English classes?
Everything, symptoms, treatment, or just a glimpse of what is. Thank you.
There is nothing theoretical about the etiology of it and even the definition. Nobody knows with certainty what it is. As at present, it is classified as a mental disorder and defined by a constellation of symptoms. If you want to know what it is, see the DSM IV under "autism". Http: / / ani.autistics.org/dsm4-autism.html The only facts there are statistics. If someone says he knows what he does, it is ridiculous. Regarding the statistics, here is a list of things correlate with autism: cesarean birth premature birth Being born a twin early in the difficult birth defects physical or psychological trauma shortly after birth or physical psychological trauma at the age of two cases of serious illness or surgery within two weeks of the birth of gross negligence at birth childhood blindness can perform Google searches on these for your class. You can also search on treatments and theories of etiology. My personal favorite theories on autism are in the field of psychoanalysis. Here's an example: http://www.neoteny.org/?p=221 ——- Addendum: Michelle information is accurate but incomplete. The following was included in the item of news from the BBC: "But he warned:" There will almost certainly be an interaction between multiple genes, so this discovery is not provided a complete response and can lead straight to a genetic test, but it could be a key step in the development of effective treatment because it provides a target for drug development. "Http: / / news.bbc.co.uk/low/english/pda/health/newsid_6360000/newsid_6369300/6369347.htm This was written in February 2007. Nothing more has come out. It is a stalemate. Incidentally, I too am autistic.
