Hi everyone I wanted to talk to you guys about raising awareness for Autism! According to Autism Speaks Foundation Autism is" Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders. "Even with all the medical advancements we have in our society the causes of Autism is still unknown. Research shoes that there are many different levels, and severity of symptoms that Autism causes.
According to Autism Speaks theses are some of the red flags with Autism
- No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter
- No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions by nine months or thereafter
- No babbling by 12 months
- No back-and-forth gestures, such as pointing, showing, reaching, or waving by 12 months
- No words by 16 months
- No two-word meaningful phrases (without imitating or repeating) by 24 months
The foundation for Autism Speaks mission is to create funds for global bio medical research in order to create prevention, and treatment for Autism. There goal is to also raise awareness on its effects on families and also the person who is suffering from Autism.
It is really important to bring hope to those who struggle with Autism and their families. I think its really important to give these families a sense of community, and to have a caring and helpful attitude towards them.
