Helping Autistic Adults-Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments For Adults With Autism
Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental disability, which affects 1 in 68 people in the United States. Men are four times more prone to develop ASD than women; however, studies have shown that women with autism are more severely affected. Signs and symptoms of autism usually occur within the first three years of a person’s life, but some parents fail to notice some of these indications and others may have chose to ignore the issue.
Autism affects a person’s social and communication skills. Because of this, some parents will often overlook these signs and symptoms and simply think of them as a sign of slow growth and development. Because of this, some people will grow up not knowing that they have the disorder.
