It’s a disorder, not a disease. Don’t judge it, but accept it.
In 2005, by Aspies for Freedom, the first Autistic Pride Day was celebrated and soon became a global event that is celebrated publicly. During gay pride and LGBTQ events, a rainbow flag is used highlighting a white infinity symbol on a tricolor background. In medical terms, autism is a “neurological disability”. This means that autistic minds are unique or being autistic, they experience everything very different from others. Autistic people face other people's negative attitudes about autism and a lack of support and kindness. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
It is a mental disorder of the neurodevelopmental type. It includes autism and Asperger syndrome. People on the autistic spectrum usually experience difficulties with social communication, interaction and may exhibit restricted repetitive patterns of behavior, activities, or interests. Symptoms are identified between one and two years of age. Long-term problems may involve quandaries in performing daily tasks, creating and preserving relationships, and managing a job. Risk factors involve having a family history of autism, an older parent, and certain genetic conditions. It is estimated that between 64% and 91% of the risk is due to family history. The diagnosis is based on symptoms. Men are diagnosed four times more than women.

Treatment efforts are generally individualized and can include:- - Behavioral therapy - The teaching of coping skills - Medications can be used to try to help improve traits. - Evidence to support the use of medications. The term “spectrum” refers to variation in the type and severity concerning symptoms. Those in the moderate range may function independently, while those with critical symptoms may need substantial support in their day-to-day lives. There are many autism-related events and celebrations including Autism Sunday, World Autism Awareness Day, Autistic Pride Day, and World Autism Awareness Day is an internationally recognized day on 2nd April, supporting the state’s member of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about people with autistic spectrum disorders including autism. It was introduced by the United Nations representative of Qatar and designated by the United Nations General Assembly. World Autism Day is one of seven approved health-specific UN Days. Organizations all around the world come to help in things like diagnoses, research, treatment, and acceptance for those with a developmental path struck by autism. Autistic Pride Day Aspies for Freedom initiative raise awareness among people. - Autism rights perspectives - Autism is a disability, not a disease - Autism is a spectrum - Autism did not need to be cured - Autistic people have their own culture. Autism Symptoms
Common symptoms of autism, but non-autistic children may exhibit some of these behaviors: - Rocking, spinning, or other repeated movements - Avoiding physical contact - Avoiding eye contact - Spinning, repeated movements delayed speech development - Repetitive speaking of words or short phrases - Disability to cope with minute variations in a daily routine - Limited or no interactions with peers - Researchers still have not reached an agreement regarding their specific causes Autism causes may include high parental age at the time of the birth of the child, maternal prenatal medication use, gestational or diabetic bleeding. Doctors and scientists are not sure of the causes of autism many organizations like Autism Speaks have advocated and Autism Research Institute researching a cure. Wishing that an autistic person be cured is equivalent to wishing that they would die. Associated Medical & Mental Health Conditions
- Autism can affect the whole body - Cognitive problems (such as difficulties with attention, concentration, and central coherence) - Developmental/Neurological conditions - Gastrointestinal problems Inc. constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion. - Genetic conditions - Learning disabilities (although many individuals with autism have an average or above-average intellectual ability) - Mental health problems (depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsions). - Major challenges including basic skills (such as standing upright, such as holding a pencil between their fingers and thumb). - Sensory problems (such as hearing and sound sensitivity, visual troubles). - Functional and Adaptive behavior (such as sleep problems or eating). The study identified risk factors for developmental problems, such as serious childhood illnesses, home birth, and low birth weight. While we can't prevent having a child with an autistic disorder, we can increase our chances of having a healthy baby by doing these lifestyle changes: regular check-ups, eat well-balanced meals, and exercise/Meditate. Make sure to have great prenatal care and take all advised vitamins and supplements.

Why recycling should be necessary?

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can...

What is the role of organic farming in making future of Agriculture? ( by Neha Soni ) Agriculture is one of the leading sources of food within the World. Human has sacrificed its natural resources for economic development from the period of human civilization to the trendy world. Within the evolutionary period of agriculture, people used the practice of slash and burn agriculture, commonly called Jhum cultivation, where farmers cut down the trees of the forest and burn the plant remains. The ash is employed as a fertilizer and therefore the land is then used for farming or cattle grazing. After cultivation, the area is left for several years to permit its recovery. The farmers then advance to other areas and repeat the method. In earlier days, when Slash and Burn cultivation was in prevalence, enough time-gap was given specified that the land recovered from the effect of cultivation. With increasing population, and repeated cultivation, this recovery phase is completed away with, lea...
