It's autism awareness month ask me any question about autism

Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms during pregnancy and how the baby’s body functions as it grows in the womb and after birth. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby’s body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.
Even though people with Down syndrome might act and look similar, each person has different abilities. People with Down syndrome usually have an IQ (a measure of intelligence) in the mildly-to-moderately low range and are slower to speak than other children.

Still about autism

As we saw every child on the autism spectrum has different challenges mainly in these three areas,

-Communicating verbally and non-
verbally
-Relating to others and the world
around them
Thinking and behaving flexibly

There are different opinions among
doctors and experts about
what causes autism and how best to
treat it. There is one fact, however, that

everyone agrees on: early and intensive
intervention helps. For children at risk
and children who show early signs, it
can make all the difference. But no
matter your child's age, don't lose hope.

Treatment can reduce the disorder's
effects and help your child thrive in life.

What is autism?

Autism expresses itself through a
spectrum of symptoms. Autism
spectrum disorder appears in infancy

and early childhood, causing delays in
many basic areas of development, such
as learning to talk, play, and interact
with others.

The signs and symptoms of autism
vary widely, as do its effects. Some
children with autism have only mild
impairments, while others have more

obstacles to overcome. However, every
child on the autism spectrum has
problems, at least to some degree.
