Eliminating the Source: What Causes Autism

January 31st, 2008

Many parents hope that in finding a source of Autism, this disorder can be cured or prevented. Unfortunately, scientists have yet to find one single reason why children develop Autism. It is possible that someday Autism will be linked to a specific gene abnormality, but the more likely source is not one thing, but a number of factors in a child’s world. Autism cannot be prevented or cured, so the best we can do to assist Autistic children and adults is to be understanding and willing to compromise to make the world comfortable for them and ourselves.

January 29th, 2008

The elderly individual who faces a future full of pain, immobility or decreased function is very likely to become depressed as he/she contemplates the future. Chronic diseases can lead to desperation, sadness or feelings of hopelessness that can lead to depression.
