What Is Autism? Posted: 11-08-07 14:07pm


Autism is a developemental disability which usually appears in the early years and effects the areas of communication(verbal and non-verbal) and social interaction. It is the result of a neurological disorder and disrupts the normal functioning of the brain.

Very interesting indeed. I live next to a little girl of 3 that looks like she could possible be autistic. She really can't talk at all. And at 3 years old she should have some vocabulary of some sort I would think. My grandson is 4 and you can't keep him quiet. I will keep an eye on her just for my own curiousity. Carrie

Hi Dyanmatteson Posted: 11-26-07 21:17pm


I would, but I just moved into this house about 2 months ago and her mother is far from friendly. If I don't say hi first, I may as well be invisable. So, it would be very awkward saying anything. I have this funny feeling that mom was on some hard drugs before she had her. Hope I am wrong. It is a girlfriend, boyfriend living together type set up, which makes it harder. But I sure would if I felt more comfortable. Carrie

This reminds me-

In research I've done, I've found that although autism isn't directly genetic, many autistic traits are found in parents or siblings. (though not enough to warrant a diagnosis)
