The development disability challenges children to have social, communication and language problems and a limited range of activities and interests. The other types of autism spectrum disorder include Asperger syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett syndrome, and pervasive developmental

Result indicates that autistic children have the lowest mean score for all subtests. Children with Asperger have lower profile than normal functioning kids but statistically significant higher score than those with autism in general cognitive functioning. Also, Asperger children and normal children have similar Simultaneous process, which accounts for correct understanding of verbal spatial relation and reasoning. In contrast, Simultaneous and Successive processing of autistic children were far bellow

unable to completely pinpoint the cause. Most people accept that it is caused by abnormalities in the brain. There seems to be no pattern as to why people are autistic supporting the theory that it is caused by genetics. Autism is caused by genetics because parents with de novo mutations are more likely to have a child with autism, monozygotic twins are at higher risk of both twins being autistic, and there are brain abnormalities that are common in autistic children. A de novo mutations is one that

they would be a very common practice amongst common people because they are used to prevent said illnesses. Well, for a lot of parents in America, this is not the case. The MMR vaccination came about when the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccines were all combined (Cave 54). After the release of this new vaccination, the number of kids being diagnosed with autism rose tremendously. Some people were very interested in this sudden spike of autistic children and decided to follow up on it. Many studies

Epigenetics and Autistic Spectrum Disorder Jowan Jones Old Dominion University   Abstract This paper plans to focus on autism spectrum disorder and how epigenetics contributes to the development of the disease. ASD is comorbid with other neurodevelopmental diseases including Rett Syndrome, Fragile X, Prader-Willi, and Angelman. These diseases have frequent, identifiable symptoms such as coloboma of the eye, heart defects, atresia of the nasal choanae, retardation of growth and or development
