Autism refers to a spectrum of disorders at which the child presents with an impairment in social interaction skills, communication skills and demonstrates restricted or repetitive stereotypical kind behaviours. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the simple ability to understand what he / she sees, hears and senses resulting in headaches in social interaction, communication skills (and use of language) and multiple behaviour and interests.
Children with ASD do not follow the typical trends of child development and their behaviors can range for mild to severe. Signs of Autism Early identification of Autism is ideal as early intervention and treatment has been directly linked with the best outcomes for children with autism. Babies are sociable beings. From early in life they turn towards familiar voices, gaze at their parents, smile and are comforted by hugs and touch.
Many young children with autism experience difficulties in developing these skills and early forms of two-way interactions. The causes of Autism are unclear however research supports a genetic component and then a disruption in normal brain development. There may be multiple factors or causes that lead to autism and only research will find these answers. Twin and family studies have suggested an underlying genetic vulnerability to autism and other studies have shown that a contributing cause for autism may be abnormal brain development beginning in the infant’s first year of life.

Help answer the question about autism diagnosis
How do you cope with an autism diagnosis?I've noticed some troubling red flags displayed by my toddler son and fear he may have autism. I'm not jumping to conclusions yet and I made an appointment to see a pediatric psychologist to see if that's true. The waiting now is killing me. I'm wondering how I can deal with all of my emotions about this. I'm terrified of the diagnosis of autism. However, I know that if he does have autism, an early intervention and treatment is critical. When I first saw a list of autism symptoms, I nearly threw up because so many of them described my son. How does a parent cope with this?

True autism, that which is genetic, would remain after a year of diet and detox, although their compliance and ability to control their own behaviour would improve on the diet.
Speaking of diagnosing autism: it seems not just every state, but every country, city, town, hamlet or nation has their own criteria for diagnosing autism. The definition is so blown out of porportion autism label is becoming a total sham. Well, not total. There are really people with autism from severe to higher functioning, but one thing is for sure: there is an epidemic of overdiagnosing people with autism. I just saw a video on YOU TUBE titled: autism spectrum seems out of control. Watch it: it makes you think
also go to you tube and type in autism self injury if your child is suffering from this type of behavior…also, make sure your child is tested for things like Fragile X, Celiac Disease and other things before your doctor slaps the autism label on your child! Lastly, do NOT let your school diagnose your child, they aren’t qualified. Nor is the average pediatrician or even neurologist half the time. Then again, some people are so over enthusiatic to diagnose autism, even the people that should know better are screwing up. You can’t diagnose a kid after a 20 minute office rooom observation. A good doctor rules out other conditions that could be causing regression or autistic like features and tendencies. Unfortunately, that’s not being done these days. Kids are being diagnosed with aspergers and autism after 15 minute doctor visits. Docs aren’t even asking historical background or running genetic tests or blood tests , allergy tests, urine tests, cat scans, etc…to check out if something else is going on….
