MEDICAL INFORMATION: AUTISM

 

" Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during

the first three years of life. The result of a neurological disorder that

affects the functioning of the brain, autism and its associated behaviors

have been estimated to occur in as many as 1 in 500 individuals (Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention 1997). Autism is four times more

prevalent in boys than girls and knows no racial, ethnic, or social

boundaries. Family income, lifestyle, and educational levels do not affect

the chance of autism's occurrence.

Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social

interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism

typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social

interactions, and leisure or play activities. The disorder makes it hard

for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. In

some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present.

Persons with autism may exhibit repeated body movements (hand flapping,

rocking), unusual responses to people or attachments to objects and

resistance to changes in routines. Individuals may also experience

sensitivities in the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and

taste. Its prevalence rate makes autism one of the most common

developmental disabilities. Yet most of the public, including many

professionals in the medical, educational, and vocational fields, are still

unaware of how autism affects people and how they can effectively work with

individuals with autism.

 

Autism is a spectrum disorder. In other words, the symptoms and

characteristics of autism can present themselves in a wide variety of

combinations, from mild to severe. Although autism is defined by a certain

set of behaviors, children and adults can exhibit any combination of the

behaviors in any degree of severity. Two children, both with the same

diagnosis, can act very differently from one another and have varying

skills. Therefore, there is no standard " type " or " typical " person with

autism. Parents may hear different terms used to describe children within

this spectrum, such as: autistic-like, autistic tendencies, autism

spectrum, high-functioning or low-functioning autism, more-able or

less-able. More important to understand is, whatever the diagnosis,

children can learn and function productively and show gains from

appropriate education and treatment. The Autism Society of America

provides information to serve the needs of all individuals within the spectrum.

 

What Causes Autism?

Researchers from all over the world are devoting considerable time and

energy into finding the answer to this critical question. Medical

researchers are exploring different explanations for the various forms of

autism. Although a single specific cause of autism is not known, current

research links autism to biological or neurological differences in the

brain. In many families there appears to be a pattern of autism or related

disabilities— which suggests there is a genetic basis to the

disorder—although at this time no gene has been directly linked to autism.

The genetic basis is believed by researchers to be highly complex, probably

involving several genes in combination.

Several outdated theories about the cause of autism have been proven to be

false. Autism is not a mental illness. Children with autism are not unruly

kids who choose not to behave. Autism is not caused by bad parenting.

Furthermore, no known psychological factors in the development of the child

have been shown to cause autism.

 

A brief observation in a single setting cannot present a true picture of an

individual's abilities and behaviors. Parental (and other caregivers')

input and developmental history are very important components of making an

accurate diagnosis. At first glance, some persons with autism may appear to

have mental retardation, a behavior disorder, problems with hearing, or

even odd and eccentric behavior. To complicate matters further, these

conditions can co-occur with autism. However, it is important to

distinguish autism from other conditions, since an accurate diagnosis and

early identification can provide the basis for building an appropriate and

effective educational and treatment program. Sometimes professionals who

are not knowledgeable about the needs and opportunities for early

intervention in autism do not offer an autism diagnosis even if it is

appropriate. This hesitation may be due to a misguided wish to spare the

family. Unfortunately, this too can lead to failure to obtain appropriate

services for the child.

 

What are People with Autism Like?

Children within the pervasive developmental disorder spectrum often appear

relatively normal in their development until the age of 24-30 months, when

parents may notice delays in language, play or social interaction. Any of

the following delays, by themselves, would not result in a diagnosis of a

pervasive developmental disorder. Autism is a combination of several

developmental challenges.

 

The following areas are among those that may be affected by autism:

1. Communication - language develops slowly or not at all; uses words

without attaching the usual meaning to them; communicates with gestures

instead of words; short attention span.

2. Social Interaction - spends time alone rather than with others; shows

little interest in making friends; less responsive to social cues such as

eye contact or smiles.

3. Sensory Impairment - may have sensitivities in the areas of sight,

hearing, touch, smell, and taste to a greater or lesser degree.

4. Play - lack of spontaneous or imaginative play; does not imitate others'

actions; does not initiate pretend games.

5. Behaviors - may be overactive or very passive; throws tantrums for no

apparent reason; perseverates (shows an obsessive interest in a single

item, idea, activity or person); apparent lack of common sense; may show

aggression to others or self; often has difficulty with changes in routine.

 

Every person with autism is an individual, and like all individuals, has a

unique personality and combination of characteristics. There are great

differences among people with autism. Some individuals mildly affected may

exhibit only slight delays in language and greater challenges with social

interactions. The person may have difficulty initiating and/or maintaining

a conversation, or keeping a conversation going. Communication is often

described as talking at others (for example, monologue on a favorite

subject that continues despite attempts of others to interject comments).

People with autism process and respond to information in unique ways.

Educators and other service providers must consider the unique pattern of

learning strengths and difficulties in the individual with autism when

assessing learning and behavior to ensure effective intervention.

Individuals with autism can learn when information about their unique

styles of receiving and expressing information is addressed and implemented

in their programs. The abilities of an individual with autism may fluctuate

from day to day due to difficulties in concentration, processing, or

anxiety. The child may show evidence of learning one day, but not the next.

Changes in external stimuli and anxiety can affect learning. They may have

average or above average verbal, memory or spatial skills but find it

difficult to be imaginative or join in activities with others. Individuals

with more severe challenges may require intensive support to manage the

basic tasks and needs of living day to day.

 

Contrary to popular understanding, many children and adults with autism may

make eye contact, show affection, smile and laugh, and demonstrate a

variety of other emotions, although in varying degrees. Like other

children, they respond to their environment in both positive and negative

ways. Autism may affect their range of responses and make it more difficult

to control how their bodies and minds react. Sometimes visual, motor,

and/or processing problems make it difficult to maintain eye contact with

others. Some individuals with autism use peripheral vision rather than

looking directly at others. Sometimes the touch or closeness of others may

be painful to a person with autism, resulting in withdrawal even from

family members. Anxiety, fear and confusion may result from being unable to

" make sense " of the world in a routine way. With appropriate treatment,

some behaviors associated with autism may change or diminish over time. The

communication and social deficits continue in some form throughout life,

but difficulties in other areas may fade or change with age, education, or

level of stress. Often, the person begins to use skills in natural

situations and to participate in a broader range of interests and

activities. Many individuals with autism enjoy their lives and contribute

to their community in a meaningful way. People with autism can learn to

compensate for and cope with their disability, often quite well.

 

While no one can predict the future, it is known that some adults with

autism live and work independently in the community (drive a car, earn a

college degree, get married); some may be fairly independent in the

community and only need some support for daily pressures; while others

depend on much support from family and professionals. Adults with autism

can benefit from vocational training to provide them with the skills needed

for obtaining jobs, in addition to social and recreational programs. Adults

with autism may live in a variety of residential settings, ranging from an

independent home or apartment to group homes, supervised apartment

settings, living with other family members or more structured residential

care. An increasing number of support groups for adults with autism are

emerging around the country. Many self-advocates are forming networks to

share information, support each other, and speak for themselves in the

public arena. More frequently, people with autism are attending and/or

speaking at conferences and workshops on autism. Individuals with autism

are providing valuable insight into the challenges of this disability by

publishing articles and books and appearing in television specials about

themselves and their disabilities.

 

Is There a Cure?

Understanding of autism has grown tremendously since it was first described

by Dr. Leo Kanner in 1943. In the medical sense, there is no cure for the

differences in the brain which result in autism. However, better

understanding of the disorder has led to the development of better coping

mechanisms and strategies for the various manifestations of the disability.

Some of these symptoms may lessen as the child ages; others may disappear

altogether. With appropriate intervention, many of the associated behaviors

can be positively changed, even to the point in some cases, that the child

or adult may appear to the untrained person to no longer have autism. The

majority of children and adults will, however, continue to exhibit some

manifestations of autism to some degree throughout their entire lives.

 

PRANIC HEALING TREATMENT:

 

Since the patients are children, remember to project

loving kindness before and during treatment to the

patient.

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment.

 

2. Do General Sweeping several times with LEV
