As problem-solving techniques improve all across the world, more children are being diagnosed with autism every day.
The numbers actually are rising so fast that they make some researchers ponder whether it is diagnostics that are getting better, or actually something in the environment is causing more and more families to produce autistic children.
It causes one to wonder if there really aren't more people suffering with the disease in the country than are identified, and if the future is bleak for a society that has little more to offer than mentally impaired children.
Albeit, it is important you know the symptoms of autism rather well, and the way by which you can care for someone who has the disease.
You never know, you could end up with a child suffering from the condition, and an early diagnosis could be the key to getting them the medical attention they so badly need, as early as they need them.
Certainly, being able to recognize the indication of autism can save you some embarrassment someday.
For an observant parent, child autism really can be diagnosed before the child turns three years of age.
Children suffering from autism often have delayed speech, and sometimes they may never learn to speak at all.
Those who learn to speak rarely ever speak in regular patterns; instead they could become repetitive and mix up their use of pronouns.
They are often very thin-skinned with touch and sounds, and often go into a tantrum when they are stimulated; even small changes in their environment could trigger a head-banging and self-biting session.
