Child Autism
Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. It is caused as a result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain. Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Results have shown that autism is four times more prevalent in boys than girls.
People suffering from autism respond to information in unique ways. Some of the common traits exhibited by them are resistance to change, difficulty in expressing needs, preference of being alone than in company, tantrums, little or no eye contact, no real fears of danger, apparent over- sensitivity or under- sensitivity to pain, and the likes. Some children with autism are particularly sensitive to sound and find even the most ordinary noises painful.
