AUTISM: Are You Aware?
April is Autism Awareness Month, check your awareness level on Autism.: understanding certain facts about this condition is extremely important.
Autism is no longer an obscure, rare thing. It's all around us, and we need to be tolerant, supportive, and vigilant in searching for answers so that we can eventually shed some light on what is causing this mysterious disorder.
• Are you aware that autism has now been deemed a worldwide epidemic?
• Did you know that one in one hundred fifty children has autism in the United States? (That's a whole lot.) .We do not have figures in India
• Did you know that a child is diagnosed with autism every twenty minutes?
• Are you aware that autism is more prevalent than breast cancer, leukemia, juvenile diabetes, and many other conditions?
• Did you know that autism is not caused by bad parenting or a lack of parental bonding?
• Did you know that the symptoms of autism vary greatly from child to child, with some being severely affected and others only mildly?
• Experts now say that children with autism have a genetic predisposition to the condition, but it is set in motion by some sort of mysterious environmental trigger. (This is the same explanation experts are giving for juvenile diabetes, too--genetic predisposition plus environmental trigger.)
