Autism is a syndrome with three bases development informed. It is associated with certain epigenetic factors and their treatment is often multidisciplinary with neuropsychological, educational psychology and speech therapies

Dr. Jorge Trevino Welsh

It is autism Autism is a syndrome developing the most exciting there, this syndrome was described by Dr. Kanner, an American doctor, and before had been described by a German doctor controversial, Dr. Asperger, in which they have three bases well informed of the problem: one of them is the language problem, another problem of socialization and the third is a problem of interaction in the game, to say something you can say I'm playing to be interviewed, they can not do this role then struggle to live with their parents, with friends, with others, it is a spectrum of symptoms and signs that can be had.

There are also people with autism with a very high IQ and people with autism with a very low IQ, for this reason varies widely.

Possible causes epigenetic

So far it is not known exactly what causes autism. Have proposed a number of genetic problems because it is associated with certain diseases such as tuberous sclerosis or hydrocephalus in small age, however it has been seen that there are factors that influence known as epigenetic (epigenetic is all that is around the disease, as might be the father's age, basically certain demographic and ethnic) factors.

It is not known exactly what causes however there is a growing investigation into the genetic code of this disease.

multidisciplinary treatment

Treatment always handling as if it were a pie, a star of Mercedes Benz in which a part is language, you should try what is the language through very specific therapies with a neuropsychologist, a psychologist, a specialist language also have the behavioral part which is very important to see here and sometimes improve the socialization, which may be truncated in the period of childhood and those interpersonal relationships or play.

There are specific medications to manage neurotransmitters; sometimes there are problems of very specific attention, for example instead of having an attention deficit they have a paradoxical attention, this means that maybe you pay too much attention to a little spider that is there on the wall and do not realize of everything that is happening around them, this lowers their attention span and there are now more specific treatments that are type not tropics, ie help the neural connection as well as techniques of transcranial magnetic stimulation that have demonstrated a good effect in these patients.

Warning signs

It has been spoken much over time of warning signs which have nothing to do with vaccines or that parents have guilt. Here the most notable is a child who does not give the arms a child, for example might be a child who does not live as others is very common to be a baby psychomotor development is normal until a year and a half stagnates or It has a regression. Basically these are the warning signs: language problems, social interaction problems or have regressed in their development.
