Strides Made By Autism Colorado Researchers

By Richard Watson


For the years its been around, autism has significantly grown popular and diagnosed to a one percent of the global population. Apart from being incurable, its also not infectious and instead its passed on genetically making it hard to implement preventive measures. Autism Colorado research teams have however made great success in trying to understand ways to manage this disorder; thus, helping these victims enjoy a normal life.

It is known for affecting ones behavioral and social skills which therefore means the victims problems speaking and talking to people. One of the things observed is that they tend to bite their tongue while trying to speak, stutter, and play with their hands in an unsettling manner. Given proper treatment however, one can overcome these challenges and learn to socialize and can even be open for marriage which is never easy for autistic individuals.

Creating awareness and eliminating the stigma that is placed on this and other mental disorder help create a better environment for these individuals as understanding them makes it easier for them to connect and learn to manage their condition. Also, better facilities can be availed where every victim is not limited to seeking treatment due to financial constraints.

Over the years, it have been seen that most victims are discovered before they are 3 years old which is a developmental age where children learn to speak among other skills. Although its usually not the only cause, failing to show signs of learning at this age should develop suspicions of this disorder. Taking them for testing as early as possible is the best thing as early detection and intervention helps in treating the condition.

With most of them being anti social, there are those that are even violent and can not only hurt someone else but themselves too. Moreover, there are others that are calm and only get incontrollable ones they are angered. Banging themselves with objects, cutting themselves and biting their skin is among the torturous acts they tend to do when angered.

Boys are the most affected ones as for every 68 children, one of them is diagnosed with this condition and the prevalence of boys is 42 out of the 68. Being a lifelong condition that is developmental, one can only learn to manage it and live the closest thing to a normal life especially if one sticks to a healthy routine that is designed for them by their doctors.

Epilepsy, sleeping disorders and asthma are among the many allergies that usually come with this disorder; therefore, treating the condition means managing these allergies to and finding their triggers in order to learn how to live with them. These challenges can be overwhelming which is the reason why most victims lash out every ones in a while. The severity of this condition is usually different for every patient and therefore everyone must be assessed to determine the proper medication for them.

Considering how challenging this disorder can be, it required a well equipped facility in order to get these victims of this condition to learn ways to embrace this condition and live a better normal life. The first steps is usually by ensuring they are on a proper balanced diet and are taking the right medication that keeps them healthy and mentally balanced.
