Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a growing health concern in the nation today. Researchers are constantly conducting clinical studies to discover favorable solutions that instill a sense of well being in autistic patients and aid them in coping with their health in a better manner. The Undersea Oxygen Clinic, a unique medical facility in Tampa, Florida is using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This clinic is open 24/7 and is dedicated to autism research apart from treating patients with other disorders such as post-traumatic stress…

Study Shows High Anxiety Levels in Young Autistic Children
Young autistic children may find difficult to adapt to regular social activities like other normal children particularly at their school, where there is an increased risk of being oppressed by other students. But there are certain autistic children who have their own strategies to deal with the autistic spectrum and manage the situation better. This makes it difficult for teachers to differentiate those children and also to find the anxiety levels in young autistic children. When these children try to appear normal, that activity requires a lot of energy and…

According to new research, neuromodulation can be one of the ways to manage autism spectrum disorder. As per research, the right Crus I (RCrusI) has a significant role to play as far as autism is concerned. This area is not just for co-ordinating movements, but it also affects ASD behaviour. After lots of research, it has been found that any issues with this area can lead to social impairment. According to Dr Peter Tsai, this finding is very important and that though one cannot change the genetic combination of the…
Read MoreNew Evidence Links Brain Mutation With Autism and Other Disorders
The findings published in “Nature Communications” on July 15, 2015, show the degree to which a mutation connected with epilepsy and autism plays a role in the impairment of a brain’s biochemical process. The researchers at University of Bristol led the study, which may offer a new target for the treatment of neurological diseases. The brain has a huge number of neurons that communicate through releasing chemicals at specific connections known as synapses. For every nerve cell, a thousand synaptic connections are possible with a hundred other neurons. Synapsin 1a,…
