autism for kids is just like AKI for grow-up. we have to kill it at the early stage. firstly, how can we prevent autism from our kids? the first thing we should do is to give them more space for social communications. and what's more, we should take care of their mood, which is the main factor that cause autism for kids. and as for its treatment, I think it is better if autism kids can go out, such as, school.

So I was around kids pretty much constantly. Went to daycare, preschool, school - all mainstream, I had high attendance, all the way up to 18. I wasn't moody. Did that prevent my autism? No. Because that's not how it works.

I don't think that will work, but this forum is generally pro-neurodiversity. However, on another forum, I listed some examples of Autism causes. http://rightplanet.proboards.com/board/ ... -treatment

The "preventions" and "treatment" in the OP's post don't necessarily work for all children.

You can't "kill" autism nor would we want to. Rather than being a disease, it is a neurological variation. At times it is hard to live normally with autism, hence the purposeful teaching of social skills to autistic children and giving them help for their individual areas of difficulty.

The goal is to help them be as functional as possible. As iliketrees said, a person does not get over their autism by being in a social environment. An autistic person will always have the difficulties because autism is in the wiring of their brain. But they can be taught to work with some of the difficulties and hopefully live a fulfilling life with autism. We need all kinds of different gifts in this world; and because their brains are wired differently, autistic people have gifts that those without autism do not.

What's AKI?

Autism is caused by moods? That's the first time I have ever heard that. Sabrina if you are trolling please don't do that here on WP. If you are not trolling, please understand that Autism is not caused by moods.. It seems like you don't know what Autism is.

It also seems like English is not your first language. Perhaps we are not understanding you correctly. Maybe you can try to explain more of what you mean if we are not understanding you.

If there's a purpose to this thread, Sabrina, please lay it out to us!

I used to like Sabrina, the Teen-aged Witch

There is no "prevention" of autism. There is only "treatment" in the sense that there is "treatment" for many chronic diseases. Quite possibly, this "treatment" leads to the ability to live a "normal" adult life.

Acute kidney injury.
Thank you Catlover.
Yeah, now that I know what AKI stands for, Sabrina, Autism is definitely nothing like AKI. But if you mean that something like AKI has to be prevented from an early age, I understand that reasoning. So I can see what you might be trying to express. Again, I think we need to understand better what you are trying to say. It is true that often times early intervention can help children with Autism learn to cope and have skills that can teach them to function better in society and help decrease the severity of their traits and symptoms. But unlike AKI in adults, or in anyone of any age, Autism is not an acute disease. It is because the brain and neurological system of the person is different from regular people.

People who have Autism are usually born that way. Their brains are just created differently. Some people have symptoms and traits that resemble Autism because of their body's reactions to environmental factors or because of brain damage due to brain injuries. But a person's moods are never the cause of Autism. But please try to explain more of what you mean so that we can understand you better.

Yes, I'm pretty sure she was saying that autism needs to be "killed" in its early stages, much like AKI.

Unless she is just trolling here, it's clear that she doesn't know what autism is. For example, it is uncertain as to whether autism is caused by genetic inheritance or environmental variation; that's the main reason why the information in her post is unreliable.

Yeah. I did not immediately want to just jump to the trolling assumption because I believe there is definitely a language barrier as well which might make it difficult for her to find the exact words in English to express what she is trying to say so we could just be really misunderstanding her. But I also did not know anything at all about Autism when I was first told that I was on the Spectrum so it is very likely that she may be misinformed, as many are, or that she simply does not know about it. So I definitely wanted to give her the opportunity to try to clarify what she means without just assuming too much. I hope you will do that Sabrina.
