Autism rates have skyrocketed and it is essential that we get a handle on the causes. Unfortunately, the Autism research funding ratios have thus fallen way behind. Autism research now needs a good shot in the arm to catch up. We are talking about 1 billion dollars in research funding right now, just to catch back up and then matching that every couple of years until we get a handle on it.

Since many similar syndromes, which may or may not be totally related, but probably are have all been lumped together now in the same area of study and now they are calling them the Spectrum of Autism Disorders, this makes targeted funding a little more difficult. Each one individually needs to be further studied and it is time we found the direct causes or the combinations of causes that are being classified in the Spectrum of Autism Disorders.

The exact cause or causes are not known, therefore, this should be one very important goal for the scientific research, we must know what is causing it, so we can stop Autism or as one group puts it; DAN! “Defeat Autism Now!” More research is needed and money drastically needed for that endeavor. One concerned dad, Gary Kuhre, whos0000078Ce heroic quest and love for his son we will discuss later in this book, puts it very simply:

If one in 150 kids were suddenly being born without their left arm, there would be an immediate public outcry and instant demand for billions of dollars in research, but since this is Autism and its out of the public mainstream, it goes unfunded and unnoticed”

A true a statement indeed and perhaps this truth is what brought about the quest to write this book. One recent study and survey showed that Autism affects one in three people in some way; in other words they have a family member, relative or close family friend that has Autism, so what is the hold up on the funds for Autism research? Are we to wait until this crisis, which many in the know are now calling an epidemic reaches 1% of our population, because it will.

Even if Autism research received the Billions of dollars it needs right now, the rate of increase means we will see 1% of our population with some disorder in the Autism Spectrum in well under 10-years. The CDC denies that it is an epidemic and by strict definition they are correct, however, the explosive growth of Autism has been like a lightning bolt through our society and too, the budgets of most school districts. Simply ignoring this problem is not going to make it go away, its only getting bigger each and every day.

Another characteristic of autism is that children affected by this disorder will become fixated on certain repeated activities or behaviors, getting “stuck” on a particular object or activity. Autistic children also have difficulty adjusting to a change in routine. Because autism affects the way a child’s brain processes sensory input, their fixation on repeated activities interferes with imaginative play.

Physical Manifestations of Obsessive Behavior

Repeated motions, called stereotypies or self-stimulation, set children with autism apart from other children. Some children with autism may spend hours flapping their arms or flicking their fingers, or rocking back and forth. Some may suddenly freeze in one position, while others repeat certain actions over and over – turning lights on and off, or touching or arranging a set of objects over and over.

Still other children may become fixated on specific objects, developing a fascination with particular objects and amassing collections of things such as rocks or bottle tops.
A demand for consistency in the environment is another manifestation of autism. Autistic children may, for instance, insist on eating the same foods at the same times, sitting at the same spot at the table, over and over. A minor change in routine or in placement of a familiar object can be very upsetting for autistic children.

Pretend or imaginative play is an important developmental stage, and most children use their imaginations to pretend to feed a doll or to take on the role of someone else. Autistic children rarely engage in this make-believe play. Instead of pushing around a toy car, for instance, they may instead hold it and spin the wheels for hours.

Explanations for These Behaviors

Although great strides have been made in autism research, there are not yet concrete explanations for these behaviors. Researchers theorize that perhaps the sameness and order that obsessive behaviors bring foster some stability in a world of otherwise confusing sensory stimulations. Autism seems to cause an imbalance in the senses: if a child cannot process his environment through his senses, the world is a confusing place. Routin00004000e, then, is comforting.

Focused behaviors may help block out painful stimuli, or perhaps these behaviors are linked to senses that work either well or poorly. The child who smells everything, for instance, may be using his stable sense of smell to explore, or perhaps he is trying to stimulate and strengthen a weak sense of smell.

One of Many Symptoms

Obsessive or repetitive behavior is but one of many signs of autism and autism spectrum disorders. If you suspect that your child’s behavior is indicative of autism, voice your concerns with your pediatrician, who can assist you in further diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.

Do not get the wrong impression; the way that different patients suffer from the different symptoms of autism differ one from another. Their abilities to learn to speak or communicate, their ability to learn to observe and respond to other people’s emotions, are all dependent on how well they can learn, which will in turn dictate which therapy or treatment procedure you should be using to help the patient.

There are several of such training procedures that are obliging in autism management. Some are well known and popular, and have yielded positive results in a limited number of cases. Others are defector procedures that the greater portion of the medical society frowns upon because no scientific proof to back them up and because they tend to be harmful to the patients; and treatment methods for autism are still largely in the research phase. The truth is that none of these methods are entirely dependable.

But of course – whether or not they can be “entirely” dependable, they DO help somewhat. Many people insist that they have gotten some good results from the methods they applied. While there’s no guarantee you just might get the same, or even better, results too. It doesn’t hurt to try any of the training procedures, treatments or methods out there for handling autism.

Very importantly, ensure that you don’t do anything or make any move without the guide of your doctor. Doctors k00003AA7now best and are in the right position to give you the right guide on what to take, what to do and other aspects that are very important to handling autism.
