And music therapy to help stop the withdrawal is a way to build relationships with objects, in this case musical instruments.

Therefore, this musical instrument can become an intermediary to build relationships between children with autism with other individuals.

Helping verbal and nonverbal communication. Music therapy can also help children with the ability to communicate how to improve vocal production and stimulate conversation and mental processes in terms of understanding and recognizing. The therapist will try to create communication links between the behavior of children with a particular sound.

May 29th, 2011 admin

Autistic children have larger brains. Children with autism have larger brains size up to 10% compared to normal children. This condition can be seen at the time the child turns two years old. As revealed in a report Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers the University of North Carolina found that children with autism have had signs of enlargement of the brain at the age of two years. Their brains are growing at the age of 4 and 5 years.

Brain enlargement occurs because of the increased number of folds of the brain surface due to the increased proliferation of brain neurons. For researchers continue to develop further studies to find out what kind of gene that makes the brain neurons experiencing excessive proliferation. University of North Carolina is currently conducting two separate studies to obtain answers to that question.

Signs of autism can be monitored by continuing to observe the development of a child’s brain size. This effort is important to monitor brain size and behavior change as you age their children. Another research also found many weird syndrome in the world.

Autism detection of children through their voices was found. The number of children with autism has increased. If the first autism can be detected only through the level of behavior as well as urine tests, now in children with autism can be detected through a vote. A research finding in children with autism can be detected by analyzing his voice. Young children who experience disruption in the development of pronunciation of words so different from other healthy children, will be analyzed by using automatic voice analysis system that was created by researchers.

Voices detection device is called Lena (Language Environment Analysis). This tool can select the autism spectrum disorders (autism spectrum disorder / ASD), which became an important early intervention. This tool works by recording the conversations of children throughout the day and then enter the data into a special computer program. Later this voice will be compared with the sound of the children who are already known to have autism conditions.

The words uttered by the infant with autism, especially when you pronounce the syllables are different from other children who develop normally. This tool can distinguish sounds normal children, children who have autism and children who did have delayed development of speech.

Detection by using this system will cost about 130 pounds, or USD 1.8 million (exchange rate 13 800 pounds) with an accuracy of 86 per cent level. These findings were published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Autism detection of children is not easy. The child must pass a psychological test length ranging from social interaction, communication, skills testing to physical tests. But soon enough, detection of children with autism can be done in a simple way to test only a few drops of urine like a pregnancy test. Scientists are now perfecting the use of urine tests for detection of autistic children are expected to be applied widely use in 2015. From this test can be known ‘yes’ or ‘no’ children affected by autism.

Research conducted scientists from Imperial College London and University of South Australia, is a new breakthrough that helps enforce the diagnosis of autism in a way that is easy. Moreover, symptoms of autism have emerged since the child was born. With the early diagnosis, treatment of children with autism can be done early so that parents can be more responsive to treat her son.

Professor Jeremy Nicholson from Imperial College London said the urine of autistic children contain different chemicals. The findings of the so-called ‘metabolic fingerprints of urine’ that have been reported in the Journal of Proteome Research.

People with autism usually have digestive problems that come from a variety of bacteria in the gut. Scientists say an understanding of these bacteria may help treatment for digestive problems children with autism. Scientists suggest the need for a new understanding of bacteria because it can help develop a treatment for digestive problems children with autism.

The main problem of autism there are three of the brain, poison and digestive function. Therefore there is no instant treatment for children with autism, and it takes patience and a long time for treatment.
