Is Autism due to the inability to predict events??

-
Our Brain is a complex machine with millions of operations being performed to keep our lives moving.Autism is one of the few disorders that can change the way the brain works.Autism is characterized by various symptoms like hypersensitivity to sound, repetitive behavior and difficulty in interacting with others.MIT scientists have put forth a new study that suggests that Autism is due to inability to predict the events.Scientists say that for an autistic child the world may seem magical due to their inability to predict the events.Based on the reports from the parent's autistic children insisted in a very controlled and predictable environment.

Most people have the ability to predict the events based on the previous interactions with the person.But, the autistic children may be unable to predict the event.To find the reason behind this reason, researchers found that components of the brain like basal ganglia, the nucleus accumbens, and cerebellum.These structures were found to be structurally abnormal for those suffering from Autism.

The Climax

The researchers believe that students may show different kinds of autism symptoms depending on the time of the predictive impairment.The hypothesis also predicts that some cognitive skills which are based mainly on rules will remain unharmed while prediction of events like the trajectory of a ball may be affected.The researchers on testing some elements have found that the autistic children have problems with sensory stimuli and they believe that further findings may help in studying autism better.

As individual risk factors, obesity is considered twice as much as risky as diabetes.544,300 cases of cancer were reported due to obesity while  280,100 cases were reported due to diabetes. Be Careful Cancers caused due to obesity and diabetes were almost twice as common in women than in men, accou
