What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disability affecting 1 in 59 children. It is characterized by impairments in:

Socialization
Communication
Behavior
Sensory Integration

Causes of Autism
Honestly, the causes are very difficult to tell. Currently, the exact cause(s) of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is totally unknown. There are many theories that attempt at justifying different causes of ASD. What seems to be accurate is that in a lot of children what should be working in unison within the body is no longer doing so. It’s really complete biological disarray which at times creates an enormous amount of pain. The end result is a block of receptive and expressive cognition generally around the age of one to two and a half. At that point, a state of complete biological disorganization occurs.

Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Typically, individuals living with ASD have deficits in social, emotional, and communication skills. Sometimes they might obsessively repeat certain behaviors or sayings they picked up from books or TV. They tend to get upset at any change in their daily activities, as routine provides a sense of stability to many individuals. People with ASD have different ways of:

Learning
Playing
Socializing
Paying attention
Understanding the world around them.

Theoretical Causes and Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder
There are several theories about what has lead to the steady rise in ASD diagnoses which reached alarming rates around the turn of this century.Some of the factors taking in to consideration include the physiological state of the child’s mother during her pregnancy, intestinal microbes resulting from increased insecticides in the food chain, reactions to elements contained in immunization vaccinations, genetic predisposition,, and lack of emotional regulation from unstructured or inadequate supports in early development.

Though the causes remain a mystery, ASD is typically treated with Anti-Seizure and Anti-Psychotic Pharmaceuticals, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech/Language Classes in elementary school.
