Autistic is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder that manifests in delays of "social interaction, language as used in social communication, or symbolic or imaginative play," with "onset prior to age 1.5 years," according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It is also requires symptoms to "manifest before the age of three years." Autism is often not physiologically obvious, in that outward appearance may not indicate a disorder, and diagnosis typically comes from a complete physical and neurological evaluation.
There have been large increases in diagnosed autism, for reasons that are heavily debated by researchers in psychology and related fields within the scientific community. Some believe this increase is largely due to changed diagnostic criteria and/or societal factors, while others think the reason is environmental. Although the specific causes of autism are unknown, there is a large database of links between autism and genetic loci that span every chromosome. Further, observations and studies that autistic children have generally larger head circumferences are intriguing, but their roles in the disorder are unclear. One group of researcher’s claims to have found a link between autism, abnormal blood vessel function, and oxidative stress, with potential for new medical therapies should this line of evidence prove fruitful.
With early intervention, intense therapies, practice, and schooling, some children diagnosed with autism may improve on their skills to the point of neurotypical children. Some autistic children and adults are opposed to attempts to treatment autism, because they see autism as part of who they are or the attempts are perceived as intensive and unnatural in some cases. |
Developmental dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and writing.
Its standard definition is a difficulty in reading and writing in spite of normal development of intelligence, cognitive and sensory abilities.
The term dyslexia is also sometimes used to refer to the loss of reading ability following brain damage. This form of dyslexia is more often referred to as either acquired dyslexia or "Alexia". Dyslexia primarily impacts reading and writing abilities; however, other difficulties have been reported including deficits in processing spoken language as well as non-language difficulties.
Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing. Nor is it a visual perception deficit that involves reading letters or words backwards or upside down, as is often implied in popular culture.
Researchers have claimed that it is a brain-based condition with biochemical and genetic markers. Others have questioned whether dyslexia is no more than a mythological construct and argue that researchers that rely on the concept fail to recognize neurodiversity. Its diagnostic status remains highly debated in both medicine and the social sciences.
A discrepancy between the student's ability and their actual achievement. A child who appears to be slow ( a little), average or bright when they are talking to you is struggling to read, spell or cope with mathematics , this may be the strongest indicator that they may be dyslexic. It is very common for dyslexic children to be quite able, especially in the areas of creativity (art, drama, drawing, etc) and physical co-ordination (physical education, swimming, sports, model-making, etc.) but with some difficulty (takes a longer time to learn) at the starting of new games or procedure. However, there are differences in the neural links in their brain that makes it hard for them to deal with text (and often with numbers) without extra support. A reading age or grade level of two years or more below what you would expect from them is a sign of possible dyslexia. |
Epilepsy is a disease which defined as paroxysmal and temporary disturbance of brain characterized by loss of consciousness or muscle tic or abnormal sensation, emotion and behavior. In Acupuncture word, this disease is categorized as 'xian zheng'(epilepsy syndrome) and 'dian xian'(epilepsy). |
1. Histories of the family, epileptic attack and encephalopathia.
2. Clinical manifestations are vary greatly. There may be grand mal, rolandic mal, infantile spasms and petit mal. Grand mal is characterized by suddenly loss of consciousness, involuntary of muscular contraction with foam in the mouth, which last for 1 to 5 minutes. The patients may then fall into sleep and awake after a few hours. The petit mal is sudden, short loss of awareness without aurea and muscle tic, come with interruptions of speech or action, which persist for 2 to 10 seconds. The patients often normally come to consciousness quickly. |
1. Epilepsy Induced by Fear
Main symptoms are sudden panic, confusion and loss of self-control, frighten and may be alarm and restlessness, crying with fear during sleep, tendency to remain in the mother's arms, alternative flush and pallow on the face, red tongue with white fur, taut and rapid slippery pulse.
2. Epilepsy due to Accumulation of Phlegm
Main symptoms are convulsion of extremities during a fit od epilepsy, unconsciousness, headache and abdominol pain, come with strider produced by phlegm in the throat, salivation, yellow face, thick fur of tongue, and slippery and rapid pulse.
3. Epilepsy due to Blood Stasis
Main symptoms are with a history of birth injury or trauma which characterized as paroxysmal localized headache, occasional vomiting, paroxysmal convulsion of the whole body or half body or local region upon attack, dark purple tongue, thready and unsmooth pulses and dark purple superficial venule of the index finger. |
WHAT IS ACUTE TOXIC ENCEPHALOPATHY |
Acute toxic encephalopathy is caused by the abrupt appearance of symptoms and signs of the central nervous system in the course of primary diseases. The reason of the disease is unknown. The disease may be associated with immunoreactions to infection and its toxin invading the brain tissue directly. In Acupuncture, this is called 'jing feng'(infantile convulsion). |
1. It may occur at any age, but usually in infants from 1 to 3 years old. The brain damage always follows by the primary disorders within a few days or 1 to 2 weeks after their attack.
2. The diagnosis is usually abrupt with high fever, headache, vomiting, restlessness, convulsion, coma, delayed reaction to light, always come with holotonia, decelerate rigidity. Some of the patients may have the symptoms of meningeal irritation, increased or reduced of tendon reflex and have cerebellar symptoms, such as ataxia and kinetic tremor.
3. The lab exam shows that cerebrospinal fluid is clear. All are normal only the pressure is high and sometimes there is a slight increase of protein.
4. By fundus exam, Arteriolar spasm, blood stasis of small vein and retinal edema can be observed. |
1. Always seen in the stage of cerebral edema of toxic encephalopathy, in the case of the primary disease, with abrupt high fever, headache, vomiting, restlessness, delirium, drowsiness, convulsions of the limbs, involuntary staring, lockjaw or unconsciousness, deep-red tongue with yellow and dry fur, stiffness of the extremities and neck, either taut and rapid or slippery and rapid pulse. |
