Today the family is having a huge amount of children being born with autism. Facts are that males are four times more likely to have autism than females. Disturbing news, if you have sons born to your family. Considered one of the fastest growing disabilities in America, 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, with a new case diagnosed every 20 minutes. My friends, that is in America, and you can decide for yourselves how many there are around the world. This is a disability with impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests. there are other disorders that include Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome, childhood dis-integrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. Adults who have autism themselves also frequently find it difficult to engage socially with others.
Looking for help and interaction for you and your family is hard to do, but there are groups that work with these situations and help families adjust to a different way of life. There is a free online support community available at www.AutismSupportNetwork.com. It works matching those members seeking similar support with one another, the ability to create appointments virtually or in actual locations between members, community groups for open sharing of information, user blogs, chat and capabilities for members to host and share personal photos and documents. This is a place where families can interact with each other and get the needed support and encouragement. Check out this website for more information, and maybe you can help make a difference, in someone's life.
