“Why do we have such a huge problem with autism? People don’t like talking about it because it hurts their feelings,” says Dr. Custodia cover Iphone 6/6S Brian M.

It can be difficult to talk about autism with strangers because of stigma, ignorance and ignorance about autism itself. Custodia cover Samsung A40 One of the commonest and most common things people have said to me is ‘don’t tell me’ because they have no idea what it is,” says M.D., author of “The Autistic Spectrum: A Neuropsychiatric Examination.”

Yet autism causes significant harm and, more concerning, a host of serious medical problems: brain damage, speech delays and communication difficulties. It’s estimated that one-third of American children with autism have been diagnosed with a learning disability, which includes difficulties with reading, writing and communicating.

What’s more, even though autis더킹카지노m has always been widely recognized as a serious developmental disorder, there are still millions of young children who do not receive proper care and supportive services for autism. This is especially true when they come from privileged families with high rates of wealth, where autism was once considered something to be kept indoors away from the rest of society.

While the numbers of children with autism are much lower today than they were ten years ago, it takes a serious and concerted effort by a community of people, organizations, doctors and researchers, to take up the challenge, to make autism available to children as early as possible, and ultimately, to achieve the full and complete inclusion of autism in our society.

Autism Speaks is making this push through an initiative called, You and Yours – Action on Autism.
