Albert Einstein, Lionel Messi – World class footballer, Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook founder, Alonzo Clemons, Amadeus Mozart, Courtney Love, Al Gore (former US vice president) Bill Gates (Microsoft)........... one common factor pertaining to these great people is that they are AUTISTIC. Yes! surprised? Autism is neither a form of witchcraft nor a curse. It is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior, all starting before a child is three years old. SIGNS OF AUTISM Parents should look for symptoms such as no back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial expressions by 9 months; no babbling or back-and-forth gestures (e.g. pointing) by 12 months; or any loss of babbling, speech or social skills at any age, inappropriate laughing or crying, hyperactivity or passiveness, lack of awareness to danger inability to relate to others, etc. If you notice this, Dont wait. Talk to your doctor. TREATMENT There is no treatment for autism rather it can be managed. We should know that early detection is the key. Early diagnosis and intervention gives you the best chance for improving function and maximizing a child’s progress and outcomes. We Help Because We Care dhs-ng.org
