What You Need to Know About Autism
Autism is a developmental disorder that has been highly publicized in the press recently, owing to the emergence of a subculture who attributes the disorder to having been caused by vaccinations in childhood. We will, likely, never know whether or not vaccinations do cause autism. The term ‘autism’ was first coined around the year nineteen-eleven, and until recently, very little was known about it. It was only toward the late 20th century that discoveries and developments were made into the disorder. Advancements are being regularly made in the field of autism research to help those suffering from the condition to live healthy and regular lives. Many people who suffer from autism can go on to live very healthy and productive lives, with many starting families and settling down. This page will tell you a few facts about autism so that you can truly understand the condition.

Children with this condition might repeat a particular behavior and may not be comfortable with the changes taking place in their normal activities. Most children with autism have various ways of paying attention, reacting to things and learning. The condition has no cure. However, researchers claim that early detection and treatment can significantly improve their development.

The topic was “excellence.”
Speakers had one minute to give an impromptu speech on the subject, guided only by a famous quote.
After his name was pulled randomly from a jar, one young man wearing running shorts got up nervously to the podium in the front of nearly 30 other people, of all ages, sitting in a back room of The Unitarian Society of Ridgewood last Tuesday night.
Mahwah resident Joseph Liberatore, a personal trainer who was only at his second Ridgewood Toastmasters meeting, silently re-read the Greek poet Hesiod’s quote about “badness.”
“Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, but in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.”
“When you’re sitting alone, and you’re just trying to think of nothing, bad thoughts can stream into your mind…” he began.
By the time he was done, with the ding of a bell – 1 minute and 23 seconds later – he leaned over, laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Jitters,” he said, as he walked back to his seat.
