Re: Constant Awareness demands Constant Attention
As the epidemic of ASD is accelerating, the CDC has put together an interesting resource material for potential parents of children whose conditions might not easily be diagnosed and resolved due to the hidden and latent nature of the disease process itself.
The use of alcohol, drugs and stimulants before and during sex is exposing the fetus in utero to toxic environment that with time evolves with a series of syndromes and spectrums that have not yet been identified by the medical profession. ASD was not a fashionable diagnosis some 20 years ago when I was in teaching and practicing in Medical School setting. Today, it is the buz word in the pediatric profession.
The public is not well versed with this serious condition and the attached material could be helpful.

Learning the Signs of Autism and the Importance of Acting Early
To raise awareness about developmental milestones and the importance of identifying them and getting help early, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers free information and tools for parents, health care professionals, and early educators through it's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign (www.cdc.gov/actearly). Research has shown that early intervention is key to helping a child reach his or her full potential. That's why CDC wants all parents to "learn the signs" and "act early," even if a problem is only suspected.
