Autism is more widespread in boys that girls. Various studies demonstrate a correlation to environmental factors and Autism. They believe that the fumes and toxins in the air can add to a child having Autism. Studies have publicized small towns with great cases of Autism. The towns had one detail in common, a great pollution concentration. Generally the source is a factory of some kind that discharge a lot of toxins, and chemicals into the air.
A majority of people think Autism was caused by the Mercury, or Thimersal in vaccinations. This was due to the fact that Autism was first diagnosed around the exact period of time as vaccinations were given.
There has been a lot of studies an inquiries about vaccines causing a child to develop into Autistic. So far there has been no facts to propose the association involving vaccinating your child and Autism. There could be more risks from not having the vaccinations.
Several studies have made known children being exposed to above what is usual levels of Mercury were more likely to have Autism. This was a worry with the vaccinations, but the bulk of shots these days do not contain any mercury or Thimersal. If they do contain Thimersal it is in very small amounts. High levels of Mercury can be contributed to eating a lot of fish, and industrial emissions. Researchers reason there could be a link to pregnant women being exposed to Mercury and their children having Autism. There are new studies testing pregnant women to see how much Mercury is in their systems and testing the babies at birth. They can in that case monitor the babies with elevated Mercury levels and investigate if they have any problems later on.
There are theories that Autism is caused from an fundamental health issue. Certain diseases make a child more likely to develop Autism. Several of these diseases include Fragile X syndrome, and congenital Rubella. Others consider Autism is caused by a metabolic imbalance.
It used to be considered that Autism was caused from an initial emotional trauma. They also thought bad parenting was to blame. Doctors tried to hold responsible mothers for not giving their children enough attention and love. These theories have been found wrong. Much more study is needed to identify the exact cause or causes of Autism. Until a definite answer is found no one will be aware of what cause a child to be Autistic. These theories are completely just that, theories. Someday hopefully physicians will be aware of what causes a child to be Autistic, and they can work on a way to stop, or cure it.
Current statistics illustrate Autism affects 1 out of 100 children.
Early diagnosis and intervention is essential and could help to make the most of a child with autism's ability to speak, learn, and function. It is very vital that all children see a pediatrician regularly so that any signs of autism can be detected early. The earlier treatment is started, the more successful it can be.
One of the symptons that may happen is trouble with verbal communication, as well as problems using and understanding language. A new book that just came out on Amazon.com called Green Bean's Birthday Party and is the first in a series of books that teaches sign language and communication skills to children through rhyming stories with attention-grabbing characters. The author Frankaleana Beana is a mother of twin boys. At one years old one of the twin boys was not verbal so she began to make inquiries about teaching sign language to her sons. She taught both of them the first baby sign words and not only was it effective in communicating, it was also entertaining. She also read to her sons and thought if you can combine both signing, reading, and rhyming into one book it would be a great combination where both parent and child can learn to communicate and at the same time benefit from an entertaining story. Her one son that was speech delayed started to be verbal at three years old.
I had found a way to make early verbal communication easy and fun.
