Background Information
Before we get started here is some background information on Autism. A common misconception about autism is that it is a mental illness. It is really a developmental disorder meaning that it is incurable and is found in people in the early stages of their lives. Autism can be found in anyone, although it is found 3:4 times more common in boys. It affects your daily life and how you act because it is concentrated on the social and communication skills. Although there is no cure for it, many things like therapies, diets, exercise, and medications can help control it. People with autism tend to have a special "talent" or something extra they are good at. Examples would be being able to recall facts quickly, a special skill in technology, or being extremely good at one subject like math. If there are any questions about autism or any of these facts above please post.

How many children get this a year? Do they childrent that get this disabilty look different then other children kind of like a child with down syndrom?
ReplyDelete1 out of every 1000 children will get this a year. The child may not look physically different but by the way they might act could look slightly different from other children. But overall they will look just like any other child with no disability or disorder.
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any children with this disabilty? If you do how do you react to it?
