Some Actions to Alleviate Symptoms of Autism
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A mini review has been performed regarding the causes of autism. There are genetic factors and environmental factors. With the objective of helping parents of autistic children, this work has presented many categories of foods which could help lessen autistic symptoms. There are also some types of foods which should be avoided; these include gluten, casein, soy, and refined sugar. Regular and proper exercise for the autistic children is fundamental, as it is for all humans. It is best to do one’s best for the nutrition of children with autism, as well as to encourage them with a regimen of proper physical exercise. Of the causes related to autism, a popular one (that comes to mind, because of all the publicity) includes the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine. Apparently, the academic literature shows no causal relationship yet between mumps, measles and rubella vaccine with autism [1- 3]. Reference [4] is a study about the theoretical aspects of autism. Autism is a neuro-developmental syndrome categorized by reduced communication skills, social challenges and repetitive behaviors. Depending on the health professional involved, weird or unusual behavior (which is not common among their peers) have also been included in the categorization. Several lines of reasoning suggest that genetic, environmental, and immunological factors may be significant in the production and development of the disease. In reference [5], Sun and Cade discovered a peptide found in schizophrenia and autism, is a source of behavioral changes in lab animals. The findings in [6] include a table showing the genetic syndromes related with autism. Autism is not a single syndrome, but a spectrum of syndromes, the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A table in [6] lists 10 candidate genes associated with autism. In addition, metabolic diseases related with autism have been tabulated.
