Autism: symptoms in children and adults

Diseases associated with the psyche can be very serious. As a rule, they appear unexpectedly, and a cure( partial or complete) is not always possible. Such diseases can make a person an outcast of society, deprive him of the opportunity to have a family, children, build a career.

Autism is a strong violation of mental development. It is characterized by speech disorder, as well as motor skills. This can also include stereotypic behavior - it is the main reason that the patient can not normally join the society.

Autism, the symptoms of which we are considering, have a detrimental effect on the early development of children. Of course, it is reflected in the whole future life. Until now, there are no medical tests that could at least somehow diagnose it. The symptoms of autism are most often manifested in childhood. Methods of treatment and care for patients with autism are many. Many of them are quite effective, but the result can not be said in all cases.
It should be noted that autism, the symptoms of which are specific, can manifest itself in mild or severe. The extent to which depends on how the patient can interact with others, perceive reality, communicate and so on. An easy degree of autism can be detected not immediately, but, for example, only when the child has already gone to school.

Autistic patients tend to be very slow. Often they try to use gestures instead of words, the meaning of the words themselves is confused or forgotten. What is happening around them is of little interest. People are also not interested in people. Instead of playing with other children, they prefer to be alone. In most cases people are not remembered. Animals are not perceived or feared for completely incomprehensible reasons.

All this is often associated with a sleep disorder, digestive problems, allergies of all kinds.
