Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with communication, social interactions, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Each individual with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. Depending on the severity of the individual's behaviors, ASD may require significant support or less support.
ABA is a therapy that helps individuals with ASD. ABA is a scientific and evidence based approach that uses interventions/treatments that have been proven to work for decades. ABA therapy helps with understanding how behaviors work and the “why” behind certain behaviors. ABA helps to increase appropriate behaviors and decrease challenging behaviors to help individuals be independent, manage their behaviors and be successful.
Autism is a disorder, and it comes in many forms and levels of severity. It could be mild in one child, and severe in another. In any case, it isn't a disease for which we should find a cure. Rather, it's a condition families and their children need to learn to live with on a dialy basis. With the right coping mechanisms and care, we see significant change for the better.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. Rotinely administered vaccines - those approved by the FDA - help the body build immunity against known diseases and visruses. They DO NOT cause autism. The true causes of autism are still unknown. Research points to several factors that may increase the probability of having a child with ASD, including biological, environmental, genetic, and others.
Simply put - no. Children and adults with ASD can live their lives within society, just like us. With the right care and rehabilitative treatment, ASD can be a disorder that one can have and still live a life with functional routines.
Even though children with severe ASD can show signs of aggression, the right program and daily care can help to minimize this behavior. This is why it's important for children with ASD who show signs of agression, to be in a caring envieonment that understands and meets their needs.
