The International AUTISTIC Research Organisation
|
AUTISM is a
dysfunction of the brain, the cause of which seems to be genetic. AUTISM may
be caused by brain damage in some cases, but in most individuals it is
determined right from the day of conception.
We are here to encourage and raise funds for research, so that one day
we will be able to avoid AUTISM occurring and to be able to treat the condition
successfully. UPDATE 2002. Autism
is more prevalent than previously been thought. According to recent reviews, there appears fairly good
agreement that the Autism Spectrum Disorders affect approximately 60, and
narrowly-defined Autism 10-30, per 10,00 children under 8. The prevalence of Autism among adult
populations is not known. These
estimates make Autism Spectrum Disorders far more common than was previously
generally recognised. (MRC-2001). For further information please email IARO |
