World Autism Awareness Day

All individuals with Autism must be treated with care because they are seriously uncomfortable and stressed.

What is Autism? 

Autism, medically known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a serious neurodevelopmental condition that affects the way a person communicates or interacts with others and their behaviour. During autism, the cerebral cortex experience changes that cause serious harm to the brain. The cerebral cortex is a vital part of the brain that has major functions such as memory, attention, perception, awareness,  cognition, thoughts, languages and consciousness. 

People with autism have serious levels of brain connectivity reduction causing a challenge in communication and social interactions. 

• They are not aware of how others feel. 
• They get upset with a small situation. 
• They have difficulty speaking. 
• They are gripped by repetition. 
• They experience other conditions like epilepsy, depression, anxiety, dyslexia and more... 

There is no cure for autism and there is no specific cause, but others need some medication to help them. 

Treat Autism people with caution and care because they also live a good life.
