below and yeah let's let's hang out in VidCon next year let me know in the
comments if you're excited to see blogs from VidCon and I'll be posting those
well if I get a good response ok so here we go 10 autism fact that you should
know number one what is amiss a social and communication disorder that's
basically how it's categorized because people who have autism have an issue
with communications and social communications this is key to knowing
all about autism number two now people with Asperger's syndrome which is on the
autism spectrum actually have typically a above average IQ which basically means
that they're typically into like maths music engineering and physics and stuff
like that because of their ability to understand things of that complex nature
number 3 lots of famous people also have an autism spectrum condition like Dan
Aykroyd Bill Gates and Adam Young from the band Owl City these people all have
an alternate spectrum condition but they're super famous and they're awesome
in their careers so that's something to be super proud of so number four this is
kind of a cool one autism isn't specific to age or gender a lot of people back in
the day used to think that females weren't able to be on the autism
spectrum but this is clearly not true because there are lots of females who
are on the spectrum and although men or boys are three times as likely to get
analysis of autism then the females this doesn't mean that the females don't have
it and doesn't mean that as many females don't have it just means that they don't
diagnose as many females as it they do males at the moment okay number five
autism isn't caused by vaccines or pollution or diet and more than likely
something that's hereditary or genetic but we still don't even know yet science
doesn't know what causes it and if you want to see more about the causes and
not causes of autism I did a video about that which I'll leave in the description
below or in the cap above here so you can check that out okay so number six
autism is in fact the fastest-growing developmental disorder in the whole of
the United States and that's a pretty big country okay so for all you research
buffs out there who may be watching this video to learn a little bit more about
autumn for the history side of it bought ISM was first introduced in the 1940s I
think Ron Rock 1943 by dr. Leo Kanner and at the same time Hans Asperger was
conducting almost identical research on this specific subject in another part of
the world which is fascinating so both of these men came up with this
diagnostic process of this this syndrome pretty much at the exact same time so
it's worth checking out both if I'm alone more okay so number eight there is
no known cure for autism because I guess half of the battle is that that dunno
what causes that there's no way they can even think about curing it but the idea
to cure it because it's a neurological condition is almost impossible when you
try and think of it and a lot of people come up with ideas that they they've
found a cure to autism which is dangerous stuff and I would highly
recommend staying away from any of that information if you see it online but
there is no known cure for autism and they don't really know what causes it
okay so number nine autism actually comes a lot of the time with comorbid
conditions and this means that it comes alongside something else so somebody
with an autism spectrum condition may also have ADHD or like OCD or some other
condition like learning disabilities or something else along the way it seems to
mostly hover around those things like autism spectrum conditions are a lot of
the time comorbid okay so number 10 now I love keeping the juices going on the
most interesting one until last time I found that this is super super
interesting when I came across this fact that actually kind of surprised me and I
didn't know about this and I should have known about it earlier when I was doing
my research but I found this super super fascinating sultanate number
ten here we go bought ism used to be called early infantile autism or canis
syndrome from real candy who did that study and i find this fascinating
that's not just shortened to autism and I always fight like to find the history
in the background of something where or comes from and I have loads and loads of
fun actually researching these facts and putting these in there for you in a
video farmer let me know down below which one you thought was the most
exciting or most interesting one and if you have any comments to add which add
some more awesome facts to autism pop them in the comments down below and I
will have that discussion with you I'll see you next time guys peace
