It is still unclear whether these genetic disorders play into autism. Nwokeafor wrote in his journal article (2009) -“According to genetic literature as documented by scholars of genetics, autism has a strong genetic basis which is considered complex.” Nevertheless, with more research and funding, the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Strokes can find the cause or causes of
This is usually described as playing by their self and avoiding eye contact. Another hallmark symptom is repetitivness. Most parents describe their children as spinning non-stop or having to organize things in a certain way ( O.C.D) Children with Autism usually do not start speaking until around age 2, most of which will need speech therapy.

With the help of counseling and medication such as, Adderall, Dexedrine, and Dextrostat, autism can be controlled. Some children and adults with autism have undergone speech therapy. Children with autism have to receive a F.A.P.E (Free and Appropriate Public Education) in the Least Restrictive Environment( LRE) Also, children with Autism get an Individualized Education Plan (I.E.P), where the parents works alongside a team of specialists to help the child move along in school effectively.
