autism spectrum disorders
Autism ("classical autism") is a developmental disorder characterized by problems of language, perception and socialization. Part of a group of disorders development known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Various biochemical, anatomical and neuroradiographic point to an alteration of brain energy metabolism in autistic, but is still unknown cause (definition Orphanet).
Autism is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors or obsessive interests and limited. Its effects can range from mild to disabling.
The most distinctive feature of autism is inadequate social interaction. Parents are usually the first to notice symptoms of autism in their child. Even in the first child, a baby with autism may not react to those around you, or focus strongly in something, exclusion of everything else, for a long time. An autistic child may give the impression to develop normally and then withdraw and indifferent to social engagement. Many autistic children have little sensitivity to pain, but are abnormally sensitive to sensory stimuli such as sound, touch or otherwise. These unusual sensitivities may lead to behavioral symptoms, for example, resistance to cuddling or hugging (U.S. National Institute of Mental Health). Among the TEA
include other disorders such as Asperger syndrome, the Fragile X syndrome, the Landau-Kleffner syndrome, Rett syndrome, disintegrative disorder of childhood, and PDD-NOS (pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified). Recent studies indicate that many people have autistic behavior but distinct disorders.
There is no cure for ASDs. In many children the symptoms improve over the years and treatment. Some have a normal or near normal life in adulthood. There are therapies and behavioral interventions for specific symptoms that can make substantial improvements. Contrary to what happened 20 years ago when many autistic individuals living in institutions, there are now many solutions flexible. In general, only need to live in an institution the most severely affected.
Given the health and social implications of ASD, since 2005 the European Commission has included explicitly in their work plans related to public health. The main focus is on information about autism and Asperger syndrome, delayed cognitive and motor dysfunction, perceptual, language and socio-emotional as well as in the definition of indicators of these conditions.
