Autism Spectrum Disorder

I was speaking with another mother at my son's school and we were discussing the different types of behaviors and therapies our sons were getting.

I was speaking with another mother at my son's school and we were discussing the different types of behaviors and therapies our sons were getting. The more you speak with other friends and family members the more you will learn that just like "neurotypical" children, autistic children are individuals. I think that as a society we label people and then try to pigeon-hold them into a stereo-type. Autism Spectrum Disorder is exactly that, a spectrum disorder. And finally someone is preparing to start an extensive study. Researchers has known for years that all autistic children are not the same. Researchers in various disciplines from the University of California, Davis, M.I.N.D.(Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders)Institute are responsible for the study. They believe autism to be a group of disorders or one disorder with several subtypes. This is an exciting step in the right direction.
