Autism has no known causes and is believed to be hereditary, more common in the male population. As Dr. Oz said "..It robs child of its emotional foundation" because for kids with Autism it is difficult and sometimes impossible to recognize different emotions. This makes it hard for individuals to express their needs and understand unsaid clues, in many cases leaving them socially excluded. Scientists say that the inability to recognize body language and facial expressions is to be blamed on part of brain that is responsible for visual perception. Autism symptoms differ in each individual yet the most common are: lack of eye contact, advanced knowledge in one area, preferring to be alone, hates to be touched, obsession, lack of emotions and not responding to other people's emotions.
People with Autism are many times labeled as "dumb" or "stupid". THIS IS WRONG. These people are different, and just because they don't fit with the general standards does not make them less valuable.
