A condition appearing in a range of forms and levels of severity, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that shows signs by the age of 3. Most autistic children look just like other kids but they act and react in ways that deviate from behaviors of other children. Our organization's aim is to help these children, wherever they are, and alleviate their daily life through play and special programs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), based on a 2021 research among US children, the overall ASD prevalence was 1 in 44 children aged 8 years, and ASD was 4.2 times as prevalent among boys as among girls.
ASD affects children of all races, ethnic groups, and geographical locations around the world. This highlights the importance of offering relevant rehabilitative programs to these children and their families. Our organization was founded precisely for this cause.
Autism is a disorder, and it comes in many forms and levels of severity. It could be mild in one child, and severe in another. In any case, it isn't a disease for which we should find a cure. Rather, it's a condition families and their children need to learn to live with on a dialy basis. With the right coping mechanisms and care, we see significant change for the better.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. Rotinely administered vaccines - those approved by the FDA - help the body build immunity against known diseases and visruses. They DO NOT cause autism. The true causes of autism are still unknown. Research points to several factors that may increase the probability of having a child with ASD, including biological, environmental, genetic, and others.
Simply put - no. Children and adults with ASD can live their lives within society, just like us. With the right care and rehabilitative treatment, ASD can be a disorder that one can have and still live a life with functional routines.
Even though children with severe ASD can show signs of aggression, the right program and daily care can help to minimize this behavior. This is why it's important for children with ASD who show signs of agression, to be in a caring envieonment that understands and meets their needs.
