The disorders that affect the behavior and the way that an individual interacts with others are very hard to understand and therefore to treat. Because we know so little about the brain we can't determine what causes developmental disorders or what is the best thing we can do to help people with one of these affections.
Autism is a general term used to cover all the mental disabilities. At the moment the only thing that we know to be right about autism is that the sooner autism is discovered the better for the person that suffers from it. If an autistic person is not treated right and taken care of things can go pretty bad, because autistic are irresponsible, for them crossing the street when the traffic light are red is not wrong, for example.
So the key to helping autistic people is to learn the signs of autism and detect them as soon as possible. But it's pretty hard to recognize the signs of a disorder like autism, because the individuals with autism act & react very different from each other so doctors can't tell exactly how this affection manifests.
If you are a teacher or if you are going to be a parent it's very important to learn what the most common signs of autism are so that you recognize a child with the disorder as early as possible so that he can be helped. The world is a frightening place for autists so they need special care before something wrong happens. That's why it's important to know the signs of autism and discover it early.
Most autistic children don't interact socially with other children, they almost don't talk at all because their language skills are poorly developed. They seem to have obsessive interests for certain objects, which causes them to stare and focus at something for hours.
They are also withdrawn and indifferent to what's happening around them, avoiding all contacts with other people, even eye contact. Some of the parents who have autistic children said that in the beginning they just thought that their child smart and calm, because he wasn't demanding attention or crying like the others, and he liked to play alone for a long time. Only later when they realized that the child should have started talking a long time ago they started to suspect him of autism.
Other common signs of autism are that some of the children with autism often move repeatedly in the same way, rocking back and forth for example. Autistic children do not like to play with other kids at all and they are very sensitive to bright lights and loud noises.
These are the most encountered signs of autism but remember that this affection is special and each individual with autism behaves differently. But seek professional help if you suspect your child to be autistic because the earlier he is discovered, the more things can be done to help him.

ADHD or Autistic?
By: Chrissie | 02-06-2008
My son is 10 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was 4. He's been in Special Ed. since he's 3. I've always seen some autism behaviors in him, but his teachers have said he doesn't have autism. He has no attention span, hates loud noises and bright lights, doesn't always look you in the eye when he talks, likes to line things up. However, he has no problems socially. He makes friends very easily. How do I know if he is autistic? Is it possible to be a "little" autistic? I always thought you were born with autism. Can you develop it later on, say at 10 years old? Thank you.
