A study on autism – level 1
11-04-2022 07:00
Autism is a disorder. A person with autism has problems when he wants to talk and interact with others.
Studies say that one in 44 children in the US have autism. Scientists from university study autism for 20 years. They work with 115,000 children. They check the children’s blood and genetic markers. Scientists also need a lot of information about the children’s health.
The study shows that there are three important things, which can cause autism. The first thing is specific genetic markers. The second thing is health. The last thing is the timing of these two things. Pregnant women must be careful. The child’s brain develops in the second trimester. When a pregnant woman has a high fever in this time, it can cause autism. It is important to take pills, which stop the fever.
Difficult words: disorder (when something doesn’t work the usual way), genetic marker (specific information in the body), trimester (three months).
