Have you ever heard of "children of the stars"? It might sound mysterious, but the expression refers to children with autism(自闭症). World Autism Awareness Day falls on April.
Autism is a disorder with signs that appear within the first three years of life. The condition is believed to involve difficulties in social communication as well as limited, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities.
Many children with autism experience epilepsy (癫痫) due to differences in brain activity. Epilepsy among people with autism becomes even more common starting from teen years.
At present, the exact cause of autism remains unknown, but research indicates that it is likely a result of a mix of developmental, genetic, and environmental factors. If the first child in a family has autism, the chances of the second child also having autism are about 10 times higher than in families where the first child is not autistic.
Although autism is a lifelong condition, there are various ways available to help them. Agreements from others will make them feel proud, enabling them to communicate with others more effectively.
