Every people should be concern with the Autism

Autism is an impairment of the growth and development of the brain or central nervous system characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior.

Autism, also known as a spectrum disorder, characterized by widespread abnormalities of social inter actions and communication, as well as severely restricted interests and highly repetitive behavior a complex developmental disability which usually appears during the first three years of life. Autism affects the development of the brain, in areas of social interaction and communication. It is usually identified through a delay in the developmental process by the age of three and generally affects around four times more boys than girls.

Isolated in worlds of their own, people with autism appear indifferent and remote and are unable to form emotional bonds with others. Although people with this baffling brain disorder can display a wide range of symptoms and disability, many are incapable of understanding other people's thoughts, feelings, and needs. Often, language and intelligence fail to develop fully, making communication and social relationships difficult. Many people with autism engage in repetitive activities, like rocking or banging their heads, or rigidly following familiar patterns in their everyday routines. Some are painfully sensitive to sound, touch, sight, or smell.

Children with autism do not follow the typical patterns of child development. In some children, hints of future problems may be apparent from birth. In most cases, the problems become more noticeable as the child slips farther behind other children the same age. Other children start off well enough. But between 18 and 36 months old, they suddenly reject people, act strangely, and lose language and social skills they had already acquired.

How do we prevent having our kid to be autism ?
