Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an array of disorders impacting the nervous system that limits individuals from properly communicating with other individuals, and can be the cause of severe behavioral challenges in children.
This disorder affects approximately 1 in 70 individuals, and is one of the fastest growing disorders in the United States. The severity of the disorder can be vastly different amongst individuals, meaning personalized care strategies are required. However, it can be difficult to detect the onset of the disease unless the ASD case is particularly severe. Some common signs of those affected by ASD include difficulty with communication, reduced social interactions, having obsessive tics, as well as harboring perseverative (repetitive) behaviors.
As an academic, I have witnessed first hand those with ASD, as well as the unfortunate hype surrounding the cause of the disease. Therefore, part of my company’s mission is dedicated to providing families and patients with information regarding this neurological disorder.
There are also many environmental factors that can be ascribed to ASD, however that does mean these factors necessarily cause the disease. Therefore, I ask that you please subscribe to our feed at –
