=Introduction =

The topic I chose for today is Autism. Have you heard about it? I am sure you maybe know somebody who suffers from this disease, but do you really know what is it, or its causes?

=Causes of Autism = Nobody know for sure what causes Autism.Some scientists think that some kids might be more likely to get Autism because it run in their families.Also, many experts agree that environmental factors are also causes of Autism. Despite a lot of debates on the autism and vaccines,but scientific research does not support the theory.so there is no correlation between them.

=Treatment of Autism =

Appropriate early intervention is important. but there is no standard for autism treatment,Once the diagnosis has been made, the parents, physicians, and specialists should discuss what is best for the child. In most cases, parents are encouraged to take care of the child at home. The more specialized instruction and behavior therapy the child receives, the more likely it is that the condition will improve.Medication can be recommended to treat specific symptoms such as seizures, hyperactivity, extreme mood changes, or self-injurious behaviors.

=concluction = ﻿ Researchers have struggled to find a cause for the disorder without great success. Autism affet 1 in 100 children compared with 1 in 10,000 children 30 years ago,we are facing a epidemic.I hope more and more people can attention to this disease,and give their help and love to these children.
