Brief History
Doctor Leo Kanner The word autism is the translation of the word “autismus” of new Latin word. The Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler derived it from the Greek word “autós” (αὐτός, meaning self), and used it to mean morbid self-admiration which means the withdrawal of the patient to his fantasies, and he against any influence from outside becomes an intolerable disturbance.
This word becomes well-known when Doctor Leo Kanner of the Johns Hopkins Hospital introduces “autism” in its modern sense in English. He labeled “early infantile autism” in almost all the characteristics described in as "autistic aloneness" and "insistence on sameness". This is still regarded as typical of the autistic spectrum of disorders. In late 1960, Autism was thought as a lifelong development problem which is shown via social interaction and verbal or non-verbal communication. Until mid 1970, there were some evidences that can prove a little bit about genetic causing of autism from parents to children.

Introduction In the modern day, many people see Autism as the social disorder disease (SDD) despite any logical or convincing research. Autism has been existed for many centuries, and it is not identified as a transmitted disease. Understanding autism helps us to prevent or improve our life style. Many profound scientific researchers have pointed out that autism is related to genetic, and it appears as early as three years of age. According to U.S Department of Education, Autism happens 4 times more in boys than girls. Autism has been a question for many people, yet it is whether preventable or not. The main streams are the causes, the symptom, and the appropriate treatment.

Autism-Causing Factors Autism is rooted in the gene which must be related to the prior generation.
According to Autism Society Of America (ASA) as: "Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities”. The defect of DNA during the meiosis phase result in the abnormal development of brain, and this is the main cause of autism. It has long been presumed that there is a common cause at the genetic, cognitive, and neural levels for autism 's characteristic triad of symptoms.(1) However, there is increasing suspicion that autism is instead a complex disorder whose core aspects have distinct causes that often
co-occur.(1)(2)

Deletion (1), duplication (2) and inversion (3) are all chromosome abnormalities that have been implicated in autism.(3)Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is unclear whether ASD is explained more by rare mutations with major effects, or by rare multigame interactions of common genetic variants.(7)(4) Complexity arises due to interactions among multiple genes, the environment, and epigenetic factors which do not change DNA but are heritable and influence gene expression.(7) Studies of twins suggest that heritability is 0.7 for autism and as high as 0.9 for ASD, and siblings of those with autism are about 25 times more likely to be autistic than the general population.(8) However, most of the mutations that increase autism risk have not been identified. Typically, autism cannot be traced to a Mendelian (single-gene) mutation or to a single chromosome abnormality like fragile X syndrome, and none of the genetic syndromes associated with ASDs have been shown to selectively cause ASD.(7) Numerous candidate genes have been located, with only small effects attributable to any particular gene.(7) The large number of autistic individuals with unaffected family members may result from copy number variations—spontaneous deletions or duplications in genetic material during meiosis.(5) Hence, a substantial fraction of autism cases may be traceable to genetic causes that are highly heritable but not inherited: that is, the mutation that causes the autism is not present in the parental genome.(3)Several lines of evidence point to synaptic dysfunction as a cause of autism.(9) Some rare mutations may lead to autism by disrupting some synaptic pathways, such as those involved with cell adhesion.(6) Gene replacement studies in mice suggest that autistic symptoms are closely related to later developmental steps that depend on activity in synapses and on activity-dependent change.(10) All known teratogens (agents that cause birth defects) related to the risk of autism appear to act during the first eight weeks from conception, and though this does not exclude the possibility that autism can be initiated or affected later, it is strong evidence that autism arises very early in development.(11) Although evidence for other environmental causes is anecdotal and has not been confirmed by reliable studies,(12) extensive searches are underway.(13) Environmental factors that have been claimed to contribute to or exacerbate autism, or may be important in future research, include certain foods, infectious disease, heavy metals, solvents, diesel exhaust, PCBs, phthalates and phenols used in plastic products, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, alcohol, smoking, illicit drugs, vaccines,[11] and prenatal stress,(14) although no links have been found, and some have been completely disproven.” (Wikipedia) Biologically, Children with autism may receive this decease through parent, and it will exist in their life-time. Other factors such drugs, alcohol, and defective products can be the causes of autism. Understanding the right factors can help to stop this decease.

Signs and Symptoms It is very easy to detect the sign of people with autism through eye contract, behavior, and their social interact. There are many signs that show the symptoms of autism in both adult and children, and basically there are social issues, communicating, stimulus response, a typical behavior, and playtime:
“One thing that seems to plague all children with autism is social awkwardness and problems interacting with peers.
They don 't seem to be able to relate to anyone, have problems with eye contact, and tend to show signs of agitation rather easily. They also seem to prefer to play alone rather than rise to the challenge of making friends. They tend to show no emotional reaction to anything or anyone, and shy away from group activities. Those with autism might start out talking fine, but then regress later. Others have good communication skills. Some do not communicate with spoken words at all. Those with classic autism often use gestures rather than saying words, will repeat words and phrases that they do know, and often use odd phrases that rhyme over and over again. One of the symptoms of autism is a lack of response to many things that others respond to right away. This is something that is often very obvious. They either respond in an inappropriate manner or not at all. Some will not respond to noises or stimulus in any way, which scares parents. Others might be overly sensitive to touch, sound, and even the feeling of clothing on their skin. They may also get lost in patterns and explore with rubbing and licking. Another of the common symptoms of autism in children is problematic behavior. This might include being completely passive, or being extremely and sometimes violently aggressive. These children often have tantrums. These tantrums might come with the slightest
upset in normal routine. These children may be first diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they lack any type of attention span. They also demonstrate many repetitive movements, and seem to focus on one thing for a very long time. Playtime: Though children with autism do play some, they often play on their own. They want to play with other children in many cases, but lack the social skills to maintain or even form friendships. This brings anxiety, and pushes them to play on their own where they feel safe. They may show repetition in play, and might be so focused on something that there seems to be nothing that will drag their attention away from what they are doing”. (15)

There are many obvious symptoms about autism that we can easily detect, and we can have autism children to go clinic or special program that can help them to adapt with society. There are no excuses for letting our children suffering autism.

Treatment of Autism There is no cure for autism, but education is the tools which can help many children and young adult develop a better skill at social interaction. The education of how to improve behavior will provide a greater opportunity for children with autism adapt into society. “While there is no known cure for autism, there are treatment and education approaches that may reduce some of the challenges associated with the condition. Intervention may help to lessen disruptive behaviors, and education can teach self-help skills that allow for greater independence. But just as there is no one symptom or behavior that identifies individuals with ASD, there is no single treatment that will be effective for all people on the spectrum. Individuals can learn to function within the confines of ASD and use the positive aspects of their condition to their benefit, but treatment must begin as early as possible and be tailored to the child 's unique strengths, weaknesses and needs. The purpose of this section is to provide a general overview of a variety of available approaches, not specific treatment recommendations. Keep in mind that the word "treatment" is used in a very limited sense. While typically used for children under 3, the approaches described herein may be included in an educational program for older children as well. Treatments can divided into Nonmedical Interventions , which include behavioral and educational approaches as well as sensory, communication and other interventions, and Biomedical Treatments, which include modifications in diet, addition of vitamins and minerals, gut treatments, immune system regulations and others. It is important to match a child 's potential and specific needs with treatments or strategies that are likely to be effective in moving him/her closer to established goals and greatest potential. The Autism Society does not want to give the impression that parents or professionals will select one item from a list of available treatments. A search for appropriate treatment must be paired with the knowledge that all treatment approaches are not equal; what works for one will not work for all, and other options do not have to be excluded. The basis for choosing any treatment plan should come from a thorough evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses observed in the child”. (16) Appropriate treatment plus social assistance can help to make living with Autism easier, and it gives hope to people with autism instead of turning the back to them. Choosing an appropriate treatment can be challenging for parent, so they shall be consultant with psychiatrist doctors. The treatment can also be very challenging for doctor because of its variable causing factors, and the level of sickness is different with each individuals.

Brief Conclusion Autism comes with many types of symptom and genetic causes. The treatment of autism is thought education. Parents should acknowledge about autism, so they can find way to provide a better opportunity for their children of treating autism spectrum disorder. We can find many clinics offering special program for autism patient. By knowing more about autism, we are not only providing treatment but also understand for autism patient. There are many researches, useful information, and social help to make living with autism more fulfilling.
