 * Can Autism be prevented? Some sources say pregnant women can be extra careful of certain things. For instance some people think delaying vaccines, staying away from pesticides, and eating organically can help prevent Autism. One of the main sad things about a child getting autism is that their is NO cure. Once you get it you can't get rid of it. I think pregnant mothers should be extra cautious now a days because the autism rate is increasing rapidly. This year, nearly 1,000,000 children in the US have autism. The numbers have increased 20% in the past two years. **



===** How do you treat kids with Autism? Autistic kids need lots of extra help from doctors, therapists, and special teachers to help them adjust to society. The earlier they get the help they need the better they adjust. Different children need extra help in different areas. The first part of the process is teaching them to communicate. Most autistic kids understand words better visually so therapists try to use sign language, symbols, and pictures. If staying on the right track, autistic kids should eventually learn how to talk. **===

===** Therapists also teach autistic kids social skills. Things such as waiting for their turn, following directions, and greeting people. Other autistic kids need more help with the physical aspect of autism. They need special help with things such as making your bed or brushing your teeth. Some have trouble staying in one spot of a long period of time, or controlling their tempers. They usually get more help with their behaviors. **===

===** Some kids have a mild case of Autism compared to others. They can go to school without need of much help. Since most autistic kids are shy, school can be a lot to take on for them. It's best for calmer enviornments. Teachers also need to know that it is very hard for autistic kids to understand words to their meanings. All in all autism can vary from mild to severe, but depending on how well their taught most can talk and get around just like the rest of us. **===
