The Larger Rates Of Autism Children Face Today Is Puzzling

The larger rates of autism children face today is puzzling to doctors and researchers. The rate of this problem has gone up considerably in the last few years, and the cause in this increase hasn't been recognized yet. There are lots of theories that have been spoken or discussed but there is no solid proof to prove any of these possibilities. Vaccinations, environmental pollution, problems from pregnancy, exposure to particular compounds, and many other probable causes have been theorized.

The U . S . Government, many doctors, and the vaccine creators insist that vaccines which are given to children are secure and don't cause autism. Many parents and some doctors believe otherwise though, particularly in cases where the child was developing normally until a vaccine was given and then autism symptoms were first discovered by the guardian and doctor.

Polluting the environment has also been charged for the higher rates of autism children experience nowadays. Several scientists believe that exposure to polluting the environment or other dangerous compounds causes the difficulties that are seen with autism. These substances include mercury from eating fish, pesticides that have entered into the food chain, additives and preservatives that are usually added to foods, and other forms of toxic compounds. The problem with this theory is that lots of children have been exposed to these substances in the womb and were not autistic.

Medical imaging tests don't normally reveal any brain damage or abnormal brain activity in autistic children. This has led several experts to think about that the problem may be with the neurotransmitters in the brain that are accountable for brain action. This is also only a theory though, and studies have not been carried out to figure out whether this theory is perfect or just a false presumption.

There have been treatment advancements that give parents hope but there is still no cure in sight. It is possible that this ailment will be unlocked by medical science sooner or later but until then therapy and treatment is vital.
