Brain Chemistry And Trust Unlocked By: Aydan Corkern | - Most people would assume that Oxytocin in a bottle, a marketing fantasy, would be lumped in with the fountain of youth and the claims that fad diets make about melting away untold pounds with no real effort. Assume what you like, but Swiss and American scientists working together in Zurich have demonstrated with recent experiments that this could be a reality. What caused such wild reactions?

Managing Your Life With An Autistic Child By: Jona | - Life with an autistic child can be confusing and challenging as well as a joy and pleasure. Autism is short for autistic spectrum disorder, which is a neurological disorder. There are various levels and forms of autism.

What Is An Aspergers Syndrome Characteristic? By: Dave Angel | - In this short article I will attempt to outline Aspergers Syndrome characteristics.

How To Detect Autism In Your Child By: Jona | - Parents obviously want the best for their children and always want to make sure that they are as happy as possible, as well as being as healthy as possible. One of the things that parents should watch for, however, is signs that their child might be suffering from autism or autistic spectrum disorder. The signs of this disease are not immediately obvious compared to a cut finger or bruised knee.
Autism is a disorder of the brain and one in every two and a half thousand children are born with it. Children who are Autistic will show signs of being withdrawn from their environment and will have problems communicating. Often it is confused with Asperger's Syndrome and, although similar in many ways, they are two different diagnoses.
