The History of Autism

Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old. Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is not understood.The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) also include the related conditions Asperger syndrome and PDD-NOS, which have fewer signs and symptoms.

0:28 are autism and schizophrenia RELATED?!?!

[SzChristie]

@Germanbiscuts From studies of head and brain size phenotypes indicate that autism is commonly associated with developmentally-enhanced brain growth, whereas schizophrenia is characterized, on average, by reduced brain growth.

Thank you so much!

good video. it's frightening how little our knowledge about autism is.

[SzChristie]

Thanks! Unfortunately, yes. I thought I can make a longer video. But I learned a lot while I was making this.

The rubber in condoms causes Autism. that one thing we aLL HAVE IN COMMON.

RUBBER do not transmit electric in-pluses when the fetus is crated .. do the research.

When AIDs increased  so did the use of condoms, then Autism jump right alone side of it.

Great, wonderful, but you forgot I do believe ONE MAJOR historical area and is borne out by the last two and half decades in the neurosciences, especially in the last 10-15 years as we have come to understand the enormous affective plasticity of synapse connections (neuroplasticity) and toddlers, children, et al responses to practices of co-regulated affect (emotional) signaling, which is based upon honoring and respecting (mind you, both from a clinical DEVELOPMENTAL perspective as well as an

I remember when I read somewhere about the very first Autism diagnoses, and how they are currently suspected of describing children with encephalitis. This was important in leading me towards my belief that the autism "spectrum" is something of a modern brontosaurus and actually describes a multitude of unrelated conditions that share similar symptomes (it seems, for example, that Aspergers/HFA is genetic, whilst LFA seems to either be brain damage, or complications in Aspergers).
