Dreams: Autism Awareness

 

By the time children are three, most parent know if their child has Autism. Autism is a disorder that affects you interaction with other. Children with Autism have hard time with the nerve cell making connections to their brains.  Autism is caused by a mutation in a DNA; too much of the same DNA could also cause this condition. Autism occurs during infancy or childhood and almost always become worse as they continue in age. When their young they tend not to smile or look at people like other children. It takes children with Autism much longer to even begin to speak. They also have trouble responding to there name. Even as people with Autism grow older it is still hard for them to communicate. Most people with Autism never live alone. Autistic people have a very hard time when a normal routine of theirs is changed. They become very stressed and may scream and cry. They have trouble changing anything in their life, some of them can take care of them self but not all of them. Without being able to communicate easily, living on their own is hard. People with Autism have a hard life; Scientists should work on finding a cure for them.
