Autism is a term that is used to describe the different types of development disorders. These pervasive developmental disorders comprise the collection known as Autism Spectrum Disorder. There have been many theories based around these disorders and how they are all related to each other. The symptoms range from very mild to severe where the person will never be able to live independently.
Autism is manifested in developmental problems with verbal skills, social interaction and their ability to communicate. This is a chronic brain disorder that causes the autistic child to have repetitive movements and to focus on individual objects. Autism spectrum covers symptoms of severe autism to the high functioning autism disorders. These range according the not only the severity, but the individual that is affected.
For instance, one autistic child may not be able to handle any change in his routine without becoming very frustrated and upset. There is no absolute cause for this order, but so far the research is pointing into two directions. The first being genetics. The other is damage caused by a toxin spread to the brain through vaccinations given to them as an infant and a toddler. The vaccinations have a preservative in them that is mercury, and this builds up in the body and migrates to the brain. It is known to affect the socialization portion of the brain.
Autism spectrum is a disorder that will affect each child differently.
