Researchers from the United
Kingdom Andrew Wakefield, Bernard Rimland of America held a research about the
relationship between MMR vaccinations especially (measles, rubella in) and
autism. Other studies dispute the results of the investigation but some parents
of children with autism who have disabilities are not satisfied with the
rebuttal. Jeane Smith (USA) testified before the u.s. Congress: Autistic
disorders dinegeri this has already become an epidemic-I and many parents of
children with autism believe that penderta their children affected by Autism is
caused by reactions from vaccinations.

In Canada and Japan for the
increase reached 40 per cent since 1980. In California alone, in 2002 there
were 9-conclude in the case of autistic per-harinya. With a growing diagnosis
method evolved almost certainly found the number of children affected by Autism
will be even greater. The above amount is very worrying given the cause of
autism is still mysterious and the subject of debate among experts and doctors
in the world
Many experts do the research and
noted that there have been autism seeds away days before the baby was born even
before the vaccinations done. This disorder is confirmed in the results of
observations of some families through the Autism Gene. Patricia Rodier, an
expert of the embryo from United that the correlation between autism and birth
defects caused by thalidomide concluded that brain tissue damage can occur 20
days earlier at the time of the formation of the fetus. Other researchers,
Minshew found that in children affected by Autism is part of the brain that
controls memory and emotional Center becomes smaller than normal children. This
research concluded that disturbance of brain development has occurred in the
third semester during pregnancy or at the time of the birth of the baby.
Karin Nelson, American neorology
experts convene to investigate against the brain protein from blood samples a
newborn. Four samples of normal infants have protein levels of a protein that
is small but the next four samples had high levels of a protein which then
found that babies with high levels of this brain protein evolved into autism
and mental retardation. Nelson concluded autism occurs before the birth of the
baby.
Currently, researchers and
parents of children with disabilities autism may feel relieved to recall the
attention from the big country in the world regarding autism disorder is
becoming very serious. Previously, abnormalities in autism is considered only
as a result of authoritarian parents treatment against his son. In addition,
advances in technology made it possible to conduct research on the causes of
metabolic and genetic basis of autism. In May 2000, researchers in the US found
a pile of protein in the brains of newborns who later developed into the baby
child of autism. These findings may be able to be key in finding the main
causes of autism so that prevention measures can be carried out.

book "Educating Children with Autism", thanks to Dick Morris at
National Academy Press-Educating Children with Autism outlines an
interdisciplinary approach to education for children with autism. The committee
explores what makes education effective for the child with autism and
identifies specific characteristics of programs that work. Recommendations are
offered for choosing educational content and strategies, introducing
interaction with other children, and other key areas.
Megavitamins may be useful
treatment for many genetic diseases, or just good insurance to tune up body's
metabolism-Linus Pauling's claim that megadoses of vitamin C can prevent colds
remains unproven, yet high doses of some vitamins could play a big role in the
treatment of disease and perhaps slow the effects of aging, according to a
University of California, Berkeley, biochemist.

Asperger's Syndrome-Asperger
Syndrome is a manifestation of autism found on the Autistic Spectrum. This
condition presents with a more subtle display of difficulties, yet has enough
distinct features to be classified separately.
Triad of Impairments-This triad
is typically associated with a narrow, repetitive pattern of activities and
resistance to change in things that directly affect the autistic individual.
