HOW COMMON IS AUTISM.
Since autism was first labeled by Dr.Leo Kanner more than fifty years ago,estimated of the number of people affected by autism and related disorders have varied widely,though it is generally agreed that boys outnumber girls five to one.typical estimates projects that 5 people in 10,000 have autism, which means now autism may actually occur in 1 of every 150 children,diferent reason for apparent rise:increased use of antibiotics,reactions to vaccination,and pollution,but i believe,is due to increased awareness, and better diagnostic criteria,in our particular case with Nicole,we detected when Nicole just have 2 years old,and we start to work with the ABA, and will work with diferents protocols,until we more o less start to learn better the Program,i think that is the key,early diagnosis and early intervention,now nicole is 10 years old ,3 Grade ,and will continue the same therapy, and ,of course for me. The hand The Holly Spirit is always over Nicole all the time.Thanks .Mario Leurinda.
WHAT IS AUTISM ?
Autism is actually just one classification under the umbrella of Persasive Developmental Disorders,which also includes Asperger's Syndrome,Rett's, Childhood disintegrative Disorder,and PDD-NOS Persasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise specified,Unlike other diseases,wich can be diagnosed by their physiological symptoms and medical testing ,autism is determined by how closely the child's condition fits certain criteria.Since children can vary so widely whitin these criteria,many professionals have recently begun using the term autism Spectrum Disorder ASD,our daughter before have label of autism,now Nicole don't have any label,thanks to Holly Spirit to cure Nicole. mario leurinda
