KESIHATAN Autism: To be Understood and Seeking a Place in an Adult World - Iffah Nabilah Ramlee When someone has a significant problem of health or growth, especially when your loved ones are involved, it is impossible to turn a blind eye. One of them is autism, something that more and more people are conscious of because autism is a behavioural condition that occurs in early infancy as early as 10 to 12 months, and definitely 18 months. What is autism anyways? Autism is a type of brain disease which limits the ability of an individual to communicate and relate to others. Those who have autism have different capabilities, some part of them have the potential to conquer their planet, others have incredible abilities and some are unable to communicate. Autism involve around one in 59 babies, including about four times as many boys as girls do. Autism is the most prevalent diagnosis in a similar cluster of conditions, also known as ASDs, autism spectrum disorders.Other disorders that are related to the autism spectrum are asperger’s syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder. It can be difficult to diagnose autism and other autism spectrum disorders as the symptoms and standard of impairment, ranging from mild to severe, are very much different for every child.
