Resources - About Autism Family income, lifestyle and educational levels do not affect the chance of autism's occurrence. Autism is a brain disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate, to reason, and to interact with others. It is a spectrum disorder that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees of severity, and it is often found in combination with other disabilities.

Autistic disorder These behaviors have been shown to distinguish autism from other disorders such as mental retardation, language disorders and anxiety disorders. At Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, specialists in the Child Development Center offer complete evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of autism and related disorders.

- Home. Welcome to FND Hope, Functional Neurological Disorder is due to a problem with the functioning of the nervous system. Functional symptoms are thought to derive from the brain’s inability to send and receive signals properly, as the result of physical and/or psychological precipitating factors.unctional Neurological Disorder is an umbrella term for a variety of symptoms of apparent neurological origin, but current models struggle to explain psychologically or organically. Presentation may be similar to a wide range of other neurological conditions from non-epileptic seizures to dystonia.

Neuro Assessment & Development Center Understanding the neurological sources of individual differences helps identify brain-based disorders in attention, memory, personality, self-awareness (conscious experience), cognition, and emotional expression. Understanding these differences in learning can define current and future expectations in the lifestyle of the individual.

Autism Interactions between the immune system and the nervous system begin early during the embryonic stage of life, and successful neurodevelopment depends on a balanced immune response. It is thought that activation of a pregnant mother's immune system such as from environmental toxicants or infection can contribute to causing autism through causing a disruption of brain development.

- There are also differences between sensory problems in autism, SPD and other conditions, and these are only beginning to be mapped out. Children with autism have disruptions in brain connectivity along social and emotional pathways, whereas those pathways are intact in children with SPD alone. Children with SPD tend to have more problems with touch than do those with autism, whereas children with autism struggle more with sound processing.

Is there a test for autism? There are no neurological, genetic or chemical tests for autism. The only thing a neurologist can do is rule out real neurological disorders like Parkinson's, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, etc. The way autism is usually diagnosed is through observation and interviews.

Parent Tips: Seizures and Autism Parent Tips: Seizures and Autism. By Joshua Ewen, M.D., Janet Lam, M.D., M.H.S., Kennedy Krieger Institute; Sarah Doerrer, C.P.N.P., The John M. Freeman Pediatric Epilepsy Center; and Laura LeBrun Hatcher, Parent Consultant. Research studies suggest that 15-30% of people with Autism experience seizures. Besides headaches, seizures are the most common neurological disorder in children in general. In fact, 1 in 26 Americans will experience a seizure at some point in his/her life and about 1% of the population has a diagnosis of epilepsy.

Neuro Assessment & Development Center We can evaluate neurological or neurodevelopmental disorders, and understand the etiology and evolution of a disorder. Neuropsychology is the unique integration of genetic, developmental, and environmental history with testing data to better understand brain functioning. With a comprehensive assessment of a person’s cognitive and personality functioning, we can specify the origin and development of a disorder and customized recommendations.

Breaking into the autistic brain Seeds for study. Some of the greatest advances in autism biology have come from studying a handful of rare neurologic disorders that are caused by a single gene and sometimes include features of autism. Four of the best examples are Rett syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis complex and Angelman syndrome.

Autism and Schizophrenia Emerging study results suggest that there are both clinical and biological links between autism and schizophrenia. The question regarding whether there is phenotypic overlap or comorbidity between autism and schizophrenia dates back to 1943, when Kanner 1 first used the term “autism” to describe egocentricity.
