Can Autistic Kids have No Symptoms of Autism at First?

It's quite possible for autistic kids not to show symptoms of autism in the beginning. Sometimes infants show signs of autism, sometimes they don't. You may notice the following symptoms in your child: Social activities such as talking, sharing, and playing do not interest him/her. S/he likes to be alone. S/he avoids physical contact. S/he avoids eye contact. If s/he's upset, s/he does not want to be comforted. S/he doesn't comprehend emotions, including his/her own. S/he might not extend his/her arms to be guided. Delayed language and speech skills. Monotonous speaking voice. Repeats the same phrases several times. Difficulty with pronouns. Usually never uses gestures like waving and rarely responding to them. Problem with staying on any subject while speaking and replying to questions. Inability to understand jokes and sarcasm. Inability to respond to his/her name. These are only a few signs that you may see in your child, but if you notice them

Alien Abduction Causes Autism?

Parents of children with autism are desperate for answers, and thus, are wondering if their children were possibly abducted by aliens, as the cause of their autism. This theory has grown with the help of supposedly abducted parents and their abducted kids. Here's the connection: several parents claiming to have been abducted, had children with autism. In addition, children supposedly abducted by aliens, drew pictures connecting the cause of autism with aliens. It this more fiction than reality? No one can know for certain what's going on with these parents and their autistic children.

What Causes Autism: Chromosomal Mutation or Nondisjunction?

According to a study, X chromosome is theorized to lead to the genetic disorder defined as severe autism. Opposed to the usual cases of autism, syndromic forms of the disorder are brought about by mutations in single chromosomal regions. Some of these genes are on the X chromosome like MecP2. Mutations in two different X chromosome genes, NLGN3 and NLGN4X, are linked with autism. These mutations occurring in genes could shed light on the growing rate of autism in male children.

Fecal Transplants and Autism Cures and Remissions

According to a new study published in Scientific Reports, demonstrated long-term benefits for autistic children via a revolutionary method called Microbiota Transfer Therapy(MTT), which is a fecal transplant pioneered by an Australian gastroenterologist. Improvements in autistic symptoms and gut continued long after treatment. Two years later, majority of the first improvements and positive symptoms in gut persisted. Also, parents have reported a gradual steady decrease of ASD symptoms both during treatment and next two years. An examiner discovered 45% reduction in common ASD symptoms as compared to prior treatment. "We are finding a very strong connection between the microbes that live in our intestines and signals that travel to the brain," said Krajmalnik-Brown.

Lovastatin Cures Autism?

The effects of Lovastatin, according to a new study, suggests the drug is a promising treatment for anyone with autism and fragile X syndrome. The syndrome seemed to be a major cause of "inherited intellectual disability"; one in three individuals with fragile X have also autism. The study goes on to add that the drug can help ease fragile X symptoms. Lovastatin has demonstrated to prevent seizures in mouse models of the condition. And coupled with an antibiotic, the drug could ease social withdrawal as well as hyperactivity in individuals with fragile X. The new study also suggests the drug eases cognitive issues and the effects are permanent. Peter Kind, lead researcher and professor of developmental neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, says: "You may not have to treat throughout life, if you can rescue during development;, then you may be able to remove the drug."

Impaired Amino Acid Transport at the Blood Brain Barrier is a Cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder

The article shows that the solute carrier transporter 7a5, a big neutral amino acid transporter located at the blood brain barrier, is in charge of maintaining normal levels of brain BCAAs. For example, in mice, elimination of Slc7a5 from the endothelial cells of the BBB leads to an uncommon brain amino acid profile, severe neurological abnormalities, and abnormal mRNA translation. In addition, the author identified many patients with autistic characteristics and motor delay carrying deleterious homozygous changes in the SLC7A5 gene. At last the author shows that BCAA intracerebroventricular administration repairs abnormal behaviors in older mutant mice. The data reveals a neurological syndrome defined by SLC7A5 mutations and uphold a vital role for the BCAA in human brain function.
