The singer Raquel del Rosario, he has shared with his followers that his eldest son, five years old, has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). “Leo he didn’t say a word until almost the four years . Yes, that’s the first ‘mommy’ we did a lot of praying. From the two years I knew that Leo was different, he loved to lie down face-up large amounts of time self-absorbed , seemed to be watching a movie on the ceiling, sometimes smiling and seemed to interact with something”, begins by explaining the canaria. Del Rosario and her husband then decided to go to a specialized center where they gave them to the diagnosis and advised them to enter into a program for children with ASD.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders are a group of conditions characterized by some degree of alteration of social behaviour , the communication and language , and by a repertoire of interests and activities restricted, stereotyped and repetitive, according to the WHO.
In most cases are manifested in the first 5 years life and persist into adulthood. The intellectual level varies considerably from one case to another, ranging from profound impairment to cases with cognitive skills high.+
it Is estimated that 1 of every 160 children has an ASD . This estimate represents an average figure, since the observed prevalence varies considerably between the different studies.
do Not know the exact cause of the autism, although the scientific evidence available indicates the existence of multiple factors, including genetic and environmental, that make it more likely that a child might have an ASD. What is clear is that vaccines do not cause autism.
autism may be a consequence of the interruption of the normal development of the brain in an early stage of fetal development caused by defects in genes that control brain growth and that regulate how neurons communicate between them, explains the University Clinic of Navarra into your website.
No cure to ASD but it is very important for an early detection, since this helps the children to improve their skills and learn new skills.
