Autism is a brain disorder that is present in children from early childhood. It is a neural development disorder that leads to impairment in social skills, communication and behaviour which can be repetitive and restricted. Children or people affected with autism show heightened reactions to stimuli which could be in excess or low. They can be extremely sensitive to touch which could be painful for them, smells can be overpowering and common noises can bring on extended bouts of tears. Autism affects one in every two and a half thousand children and the signs of autism can be seen when the child is twelve months old and becomes prominent when the child is three years old.

Autism is also known as spectrum disorder with statistically more male children getting affected as compared to female children. Usually an autistic child will seem normal till he reaches the age of three and suddenly will show changes in behaviour because of the neurological abnormality. They will seem withdrawn as their social and speech development is impaired.

It is very difficult to detect autism in adults only through physical symptoms. ...
... Most times adults affected with autism will have difficulty forming friendships, recognizing fear and understanding feelings of other people. They will not understand appropriate behaviour in social situations and can have self destructive habits as they are unable to comprehend and understand the consequences of their behaviour.

There are many different types of therapies that help the person affected with Autism to cope up with day to day activities and also one that can cure the person of Autism.

LTA Therapy

This therapy is a psychic distance therapy where LTA stands for Liberty, Truth and Ability. This therapy is developed by Linda David who believes that the cause of autism does not lie in the brain or in genes but is in the subconscious mind. She can find out and destroy the blockages and programming’s which are there in the sub conscious mind to cure autism.

This type of therapy believes that all problems and diseases in life happen due to our subconscious mind. There are millions of programmings in our mind that has matter which has content that is invisible to our eyes. The content determines what problem a person can have in his/ her life.
