Einstein and Newton 'had autism'

Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton may have suffered from a type of autism, according to experts.

Einstein was a notoriously confusing lecturer

Researchers at Cambridge and Oxford universities believe both scientists displayed signs of Asperger's Syndrome.
Many people with Asperger's are often regarded as being eccentric. They sometimes lack social skills, are obsessed with complex topics and can have problems communicating.
This latest research suggests that Einstein, who is credited with developing the theory of relativity, and Newton, who discovered the laws of gravity, had these traits to varying degrees.
According to the researchers, Einstein showed signs of Asperger's from a young age.
As a child, he was a loner and often repeated sentences obsessively until he was seven years old. He was also a notoriously confusing lecturer.
Later in life, the German-born scientist made intimate friends, had numerous affairs and spoke out on political issues.
'Passionate'
However, the researchers insist that he continued to show signs of having Asperger's.
"Passion, falling in love and standing up for justice are all perfectly compatible with Asperger's Syndrome," Professor Simon Baron-Cohen of Cambridge, one of those involved in the study, told New Scientist magazine.
"What most people with Asperger's Syndrome find difficult is casual chatting - they can't do small talk."
The researchers believe that Newton displayed classic signs of the condition.
He hardly spoke, was so engrossed in his work that he often forgot to eat and was lukewarm or bad-tempered with the few friends he had.
If no one turned up to his lectures he gave them anyway talking to an empty room. At the age of 50, he had a nervous breakdown brought on by depression and paranoia.
However, others believe these traits can be attributed to both men's high intelligence.

       Autism Treatment

There is no cure for autism ,however , with appropriate treatment and education, many children with disorder can learn and develop. Autism usually requires lifelong treatment. 

We can shorten treatment methods in three points:

First, having the pet animals at the house help autistic children to communicate with people.

Second, oxygen therapy :a new study suggests children with autism may benefit from hyper Aric oxygen therapy.

 Finally, ABA therapy : it is applied behavior analysis , (ABA) is a popular intervention approach for individuals with disabilities, especially young children with autism.

  Some people think that these children aren't interested in interacting with     others ,but this is not true,they have to speak with others .

 First,
* How to treat with autistic children at home .

  * How to help him to communicate with us ?

1- Try to attract the child attention in a clear manner.

2-use games that can be suitable to the child age.

3-use simple structure and short sentence when you speak with the child .

*There are several ways to help the child to become normal :

1-Mother and father should try to pull the child to them about they want .

2- They should give him a chance to understand and repeat words more than one time .

Five Autism Types Explained by Rachel Evans Autism used to be the term used for anyone with that particular condition. Today, there are several different sub categories for different levels of disability or function. No two children diagnosed will be the same, but there will be many things that they do have in common. With some high functioning autistics most people may not even be aware that they have autism, while others need assistance in almost any part of life, and they are obviously living a very different life than other children. More is being discovered about each of these different autism types as time goes on.
Asperger's Disorder
This type of autism is something that you hear more and more about. These children are often misdiagnosed at first, and are thought to have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or perhaps Attention Deficit Disorder. These children are very unskilled with social interactions and have problems with communicating. They have repetitive motions, and are fixated on patterns of all types. They can have above average language skills, though they don't use them well in social situations. They are often clumsy, as motor skills are under developed. Those with Asperger's are thought to have a talent that they focus on almost exclusively, and are considered to be highly intelligent. Recent findings indicate that Albert Einstein may have had this condition.
Kanner's Syndrome (classic autistic disorder)
This particular type of autism was named after a Dr. Kanner. He described and studied it in the 1930s and into the 1940s. This is the well-known type of this condition that is very common. Those with Kanner's have very limited emotional connection with anyone, and they are very into their own little world. They want everything to be the same all of the time, and this includes routine (sometimes down to the exact minute) clothing, food, and television shows or movies. They can be deeply effected by noises, bright lights and smells. They are generally considered to be low functioning, but how well their mind works is largely unknown because of extremely poor social and communication skills.
Pervasive Developmental Disorder--Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS).
This term is used to describe children who have most of the same symptoms as classic autism. They will need the same interventions and help that autistic children require. The differences between PDD-NOS and autism are minor and usually only obvious to researchers and doctors.
Rett's Syndrome
Rett's is a rare and relatively little-known type of autism, and it seems to only happen in girls. This branch of autism was first described by Dr. Rett. These patients often have problems with muscle atrophy, and tend to do repetitive hand motions. They area almost always mentally retarded to some degree. These girls are very low functioning and will need care for most of their lives. This particular type of autism has been diagnosed since the sixties, but in the late 1990s a gene that might cause this condition was found.
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
This is also thankfully pretty rare and something that strikes children who appear to have normal development from birth. Usually between two and four years of age this changes. These children begin to regress, and often do not potty train. They will lose the will and the ability to interact with other children, and will lose an interested in play. They will also have problem with the motor skills that were something they at one time had mastered. They will stop talking, or their communication skills will regress to some degree.
Though there are more autism types out there, these tend to be the most common. They are all things that take parents by surprise, and each comes with their own set of difficulties. Most children will need to be cared for long after their peers have established independence, even though the will to be on their own is very strong.

Autism causes :

Autism has no single, known cause. Given the complexity of the disease, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary, there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role.

• Genetic problems. Several genes appear to be involved in autism. Some may make a child more susceptible to the disorder. Others affect brain development or the way that brain cells communicate. Still others may determine the severity of symptoms. Each problem in genes may account for a small number of cases, but taken together, the influence of genes is likely substantial. Some genetic problems seem to be inherited, while others happen spontaneously.
• Environmental factors. Researchers are currently exploring whether such factors as viral infections, complications during pregnancy and air pollutants play a role in triggering autism.

Something  new in our world .... unknown to most of us ..... We do not know the symptoms ... and Landry are his companions ...... maybe not parents discover that their child is infected, but long after the injury of not knowing

What is autism????                             

Is one of the disabilities that impede brain to absorb information and how to address them and lead to problems with the child in how to connect to those around him and skills disorders behavioral, and social education, and is one of the most common diseases that affect the evolutionary system of the child. Autism appears during the first three years of the child's age and lasts a lifetime. Estimated incidence of about 1 in every 500 children and adults in the United States of America. No accurate statistics are available for the number of people in each state. And knows that Autism affects males more than females an average of 4 to 1, a disability affects families of all social classes and all races
