Autism: Shah Rukh Khan's My Name is Khan and Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par… both of these were blockbuster movies 10 years back. But the message of both the films was the same – autism. Not only these two films, but apart from this, many Bollywood films have been made on the dangerous and incurable disease like autism. Every year April 2 is celebrated as World Autism Awareness Day. Its purpose is to make people aware of this disease.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention , autism is an autoimmune disease. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that causes a person's brain to function differently from other people's brains. The person suffering from this faces difficulties in talking, reading and writing and socializing in the society.
what is its identity
According to health experts, autism can be detected in 12 to 18 months. During this time these symptoms can be from normal to severe and this problem can remain for the whole life.
- don't make eye contact
- point to something
- difficulty understanding language
- engage in work
- eccentric behavior
- avoid socializing with others
Causes of autism
Even the health experts have not been able to establish the causes of autism. But according to what has been revealed so far, disturbances in the genes that make contact between cells and brain and viral infection during pregnancy or coming in contact with pollution particles spread in the air can be the cause of this disease.
Is it curable
The answer to this question is- no. No matter how much progress has been made by medical science, but the treatment of autism has not been possible.
Take special care during pregnancy
Please tell that pregnant women are advised to take special care. Doctors say that taking folic acid during pregnancy can reduce the risk of this disease in the child. Also, should not drink alcohol. Breastfeeding your baby can also protect you from the risk of autism.
