Autism is still stigmatized. It's great we have a lot information about it to understand it and know how to deal with it.

Being a celebrity has helped bring a lot of awareness to the problem of autism.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often can be reliably detected by age 3. In some cases even earlier than that. Recent studies suggest that kids may eventually be accurately diagnosed by the age of 1 year or even younger. One thing for certain is that if your child shows any of the early warning signs of autism then they should be evaluated by a professional who specializes in autism disorders.

I have been a behavior specialist for 10+ years and side from my extensive training in ABA and all therapies, which are all terrific to catch children up, there are other factors that are direct results to Autism and other "diseases." Jenny McCarthy is a fighter - a REAL and TRUE MOM! A MOM who fights for her kid! From facts, Jenny McCarthy is doing the Autism Community a HUGE service! Individuals with Autism CAN BE CURED. I'm tired of uneducated, opinion spewing, willing to trust the government and don't think and research for themselves people. Reread Jenny McCarthy's book, then read Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau, look into Dr. Leonard Coldwell, look into NaturalCures.com, and start actually thinking!!! I plan on starting my own foundation to cure these kids. It's sick how people are making money off of Autism, Cancer and the like. Jenny McCarthy is not a doctor, but her book was written with a Doctor, Dr. Jerry Kartzinel M.D.

I think Jenny McCarthy has done a huge disservice to the Autism Community. She has brought awareness, but in the wrong direction. She is not a doctor and has no real knowledge of the Autism Spectrum. She also put many children at risk by promoting her anti-vaccine agenda which has been proven false.

I know a lot of faculty who are looking into the links between autism and genetics to try to understand more about this disease. Unfortunately, like heart disease, we have been learning that there are many MANY factors. Great lens!

It says that we must know the early symptoms of autism so that the treatment can be administer as early as possible due to it's increasing statistics.

Definitely. Treatment is most effective when the condition is caught early. However, it is important to be aware of the warning signs. If by 9 months there is an absence of sound imitation or no motivation to share smiles or emotional gestures then contact your pediatrician immediately.
