Where to Find Autism Articles
, 04 09th, 2009
Autism is a debilitating disorder that affects millions of children, and what’s perhaps more alarming is that autism is being diagnosed more and more often. It’s important for parents to be aware of the symptoms of autism and the treatments. You can find a lot of valuable articles on autism at various websites. You might want to check out the website for the Autism Research Institute, or the Autism Society of America. These institutions are dedicated to the study of autism and informing parents about all aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and parenting an autistic child.
Autism, like most disorders, manifests in different degrees of severity. There are several autism spectrum disorders like Asperger’s Syndrome, often called AS. Asperger’s Syndrome is often associated with High-Functioning Autism, and many scientists believe the two to be the same. Children affected with AS demonstrate restrictive social interaction and have stereotyped patterns of behavior and interest. The difference between AS and Autism is that AS is less severe, and many children diagnosed with AS demonstrate an IQ exceeding 85 (100 being the average person). Thus treatment for AS is much different than for Autism, and it’s important that parents are aware of the commonalities and differences.
