For
Investors - The demographics of disabilities and estimates of autism |
Autism lacks an exact description: it may have environmental
influences and it |
certainly can involve genetic problems for at least chromosomes
15, 16 and X. |
Among the effects that may be observed are (1) usually little
expressive (spoken) |
communication (2) frequent food and chemical allergies;
(3) intelligence that is difficult |
to measure (4) early onsets of diabetes, heart disease, seizures
and dementias |
(5) unpredictable and sometimes extreme behaviors. As people
with autism have |
already been excluded, our
intention is to be inclusive - |
if it is the student's desire to learn, we will deal
with the rest. |
