Comparing+Down+Syndrome+to+Autism

Down Syndrome vs. Autism  Autism has a very strong genetic basis just like Down Syndrome because of the cause, when you have an extra 21st chromosome, but no one knows exactly how a individual gets autism. It is unclear whether ASD is explained more by rare mutations, or by rare combinations of common genetic variants. Parents usually notice the signs of Autism at the child's age of about 1 or 2, unlike Down Syndrome where you can tell at birth. Some children don't show signs till some older though. Behavior or cognitive interventions at a young age can help autistic children gain self-care, social, and communication skills. Autism is one of the five pervasive disorders, on the other hand Down Syndrome is a Genetic Disorder. The main of goals for treating kids with Autism are to lessen the associated deficits of Autism which are some social developments, some communication deficits, and some other symptoms. the other goal for treating kids with Autism is family distress, the same goals go for treating for kids with Down Syndrome. Family and Education are the main resources for treatment. Intensive, sustained special education programs and behavior therapy early in life can help children acquire self-care, social, and job skills. With Down Syndrome Behavior Therapy can be very or maybe most helpful for treatment.
