What is Autism (short version)

Autism is a developmental disability that generally appears between the ages of 15 and 32 months of age, In most cases, but can be also be found in children anywhere from a year and a half to three years of age, the child is progressing normally, and then begins to regress, losing speech, social skills and physical abilities, or just never developes them. While there are varying degrees of severity, most children completely withdraw into a world of their own.

Children do not outgrow autism. There is no cure. It is a lifelong disability with a normal life expectancy. It affects boys five times more than it affects girls, although girls are generally more severely affected.

They can improve drastically though, through early intervention therapies, diets, chelation, and many more methods.

Never give up you are not alone! 

In the United States over one million individuals live with autism, making it more prevalent than Down Syndrome, childhood diabetes, and childhood cancer combined.  We must spread the word, and educate many!
