The Cause of Autism

Autism is a very challenging condition to many families. There are many families who seek answers regarding the cause of autism. They feel if a cause for autism can be found that a cure may be on the rise for the condition as well. While one cannot blame the parents of autistic children for seeking out answers, and hoping for a cure, it is unfortunate that there is none in sight as of yet.



Scientists and medical professionals all over the world have carefully evaluated the condition of autism. It is a fact that the cause of autism has yet to be discovered. It is also a fact that a cure for autism has yet to be discovered. Based on these facts, it is important to understand that if you have a child that has autism, you must simply work to make the world of the child, as well as your world, as comfortable and happy as possible.



For people wishing to discover facts regarding the causes of autism, the best one can do is to provide things that are not the cause of autism. In the past, when a child developed autism, the parents were accused of parenting in a poor manner. Your method of parenting does not cause autism. Many people have assumed that if a child had autism that the cause of the autism was the fact that the child was not properly fed and cared for. This is not a true cause of autism whatsoever.



There are many facts that scientists and medical professionals have established regarding autism. One of the many facts surrounding autism is that the brain is relatively larger in autistic patients. As a result of the brain being relatively larger in autistic patients, it has been found that the nerves and so on are reconstructed in a way that is not considered the average, or the norm. It has also been determined that autistic children show signs of having issues with their immunity.



Due to the issues in the body that are a result of autism, it is believed that the cause of autism may be related to genetics. Other possible considerations for the causes of autism include childhood vaccinations, and possibly even vaccinations that the parents have received in their lifetime. The evidence regarding the cause of autism to be related to vaccinations is not conclusive. It is simply a consideration for a possible cause of autism.



The cause of autism is not known. There are numerous possibilities when it comes to the cause of autism, but there are absolutely no conclusions. It is important for families to understand that it is not healthy to focus or dwell on possible causes of autism. The most important that that a family with an autistic child can do is to learn as much as they possibly can concerning the condition, and to work diligently to ensure that the quality of life is kept at a high level.

New Theory Of Autism Suggests Symptoms Or Disorder May Be Reversible

Source: Science Daily ScienceDaily (Apr. 2, 2009) — Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have proposed a sweeping new theory of autism that suggests that the brains of people with autism are structurally normal but dysregulated, meaning symptoms of the disorder might be reversible. The central tenet of the theory, published in the March issue of Brain Research Reviews, is that autism is a developmental disorder caused by impaired regulation of the locus coeruleus, a bundle of neurons in the brain stem that processes sensory signals from all areas of the body. The new theory stems from decades of anecdotal observations that some autistic children seem to improve when they have a fever, only to regress when the fever ebbs. A 2007 study in the journal Pediatrics took a more rigorous look at fever and autism, observing autistic children during and after fever episodes and comparing their behavior with autistic children who didn't have fevers. This s...

Benefits of Occupational Therapy for Autism

Occupational therapists study human growth and development and a person’s interaction with the environment through daily activities. They are experts in the social, emotional, and physiological effects of illness and injury. This knowledge helps them promote skills for independent living in people with autism and other developmental disorders. Occupational therapists work as part of a team that includes parents, teachers, and other professionals. They help set specific goals for the person with autism. These goals often involve social interaction, behavior, and classroom performance. Occupational therapists can help in two main ways: evaluation and therapy. How is occupational therapy useful for evaluation of autism? The therapist observes children to see if they can do tasks they are expected to do at their ages -- getting dressed or playing a game, for example. Sometimes, the therapist will have the child videotaped during the day in order to see how the child intera...
