It has
been well documented that there is now
an epidemic increase in the neurological
syndromes collectively known as “Autistic
Spectrum Disorders”. Since
the early 1970’s, there has been
a remarkable increase of more than 15%
in the number of children diagnosed
with these disorders. These children
can appear clumsy, uncoordinated, slow,
unfocused, distractible, anxious, hyperactive
and generally have difficulty with fine
motor skills and social interactions.
What
is an “Autistic
Spectrum” Disorder?
The term “Autistic Spectrum Disorder” is
generally used by physicians. These
syndromes including ADHD, ADD, Autism,
LD, PDD, Dyslexia, Asperger’s,
CAPD and static encephalopathy.
Despite the numerous named
syndromes in this category, these disorders
are all related to an abnormal function
of two primary areas of the brain:
(1) The processor (Reticular
Activating System)
(2) The emotional center (Limbic System)
These two areas in essence
control the speed of all cognitive and
reflex functions and are responsible
for behavior, mood and activity level.
