Kanner’s Syndrome   Information You Need
Basics

Kanner’s Syndrome (Infantile Autism) is one of the most disabling illnesses of neurological, emotional and intellectual development, afflicting about one in every 2,000 children. Autism has its origins in the first weeks or months of life. It interferes with the normal development of the brain in the areas of reasoning, social interaction, and communication skills. Children with Kanner’s syndrome typically have deficiencies in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. The Malfunction of mind or body makes it hard for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world.

Individuals with Kanner’s syndrome exhibit mental retardation on the basis of their full-scale (or averaged) IQ score. However, unlike most people with primary mental retardation, those with Autism often have marked scatter in their development, so that some aspects of the IQ, particularly nonverbal skills, may be within the normal range.

Autistic children are generally normal in appearance, healthy and attractive; their life expectancy is normal. They are found throughout the world without regard to race, ethnic background, intelligence, and social class. This disability is considered a spectrum Malfunction of mind or body.

Prevention

The evaluation, assessment and Favorable Effects of young children with disabilities from birth to three are rendered in the hopes of lessening the effects of the child's disability or condition. Early intervention for children with Autism may mean the development of an individualized Favorable Effects plan, which includes both academic and non-academic goals. The goals and objectives for a child with Autism may include social skills, functional skills (dressing, toilet training, feeding oneself, etc.), communication, behavior modification, as well as others as appropriate. It is important to stress that no one program is appropriate for all children with Autism. A program should be designed to work with each child's unique strengths and challenges.

Causes

There is evidence that genetically regulated disturbances in brain development underlie some, perhaps most, of the cases of infantile Autism. Kenner’s Syndrome frequently occurs in families where there was already an autistic member. In monozygotic twins, when one is autistic, the other is also autistic more than 90 percent of the time. It is also thought that it may be caused by a defect in the normal developmental migration of neurons, so that they do not reach their proper destinations, and so cannot establish their normal functions. Developmental disturbances giving rise to infantile Autism are the result of genetic mutations, occurring during the end stages of brain differentiation, and take place in circuits affecting the limbic structures, the temporal cortex and possibly the cerebellum that are responsible for language and information processing, and the emotional coloration that accompanies it.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of this problem is made through its symptoms.

Dietary Guidelines

There is some evidence to suggest some link between food additives and preservatives and mental function. Any food sensitivities should be investigated. Avoiding culprit foods like dairy products, nuts, wheat, eggs, etc., is recommended.

  • Creating and maintaining a standardized schedule of daily activities Enhances to create a sense of security and calmness.
  • Find something that interests this individual and try to develop it as much as possible. Puzzles, mechanical put-togethers, or activities with repetitive tasks may be Enhanceful.
  • Computers can be lifesavers for autistic children. Various programs can Enhance to channelize energy and teach focusing skills.
  • If capable, giving the child a pet to take care of can teach responsibility, increased affection and the ability to focus.

Mind/Body Considerations

Autism can be one of the most heartbreaking conditions a parent may have to face. All of the natural parental instincts which can center on physical touch, expression of affection, communication, teaching etc. must be modified with an autistic child.
