If I Had The Power To Cure A Disease

Autism


      I know a lot of kids who have Autism it's the one disease I wish I could stop. Autism is a disease that effects the brain cells and causes the brain to malfunction which makes it hard  for people who have it to speak, play games, and even to make and hangout with friends.Some facts about Autism that most people don't know.


  • Autism is located on the disorder spectrum along with Asperger's syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder
  • Boys are four times more likely to get Autism then girls are and 1 in 110 children have been diagnosed with Autism
  • Autism costs a family $60,000 a year
  • There is no cure for Autism 
  • Approximately 67 million people Worldwide are affected by Autism 

In my opinion the best way to help someone with autism is to be a good friend to those who have autism and to just understand that they are having a problem that they cant help
