Autism is taking its toll all across the globe. Not a single nation is untouched with the clamor triggered by this disorder.

Autism is a spectrum disorder in which, the neural development of the person is hindered. An autistic person finds it difficult to adjust in the society normally and exhibits impairment in the social interaction and the communication skills.

The signs that become quite evident in the first three years of the child growth include restricted and repetitive behavior.

As per the new figures released by the Taiwan government, a whopping 10% increase has been observed in the number of autistic patients since the last year.

The Minister of Interior, Jiang Yi-Huah voiced his worries against the rapidly ascending rate in Taiwan and urged for the generation of awareness about it among masses.

Echoing the same, the bosses at the Kanner Foundation of Taiwan that is dedicated to take care of the autistics, criticize the government for their negligible concern over this serious issue.

It has been felt that many parents are still not aware of this disorder and the credit goes to the lack of information about it.

At present, one out of every 150 children is suffering from some form of autism and the number continues to rise. The sad part is there is no blood test, no scan, not a single test that can detect autism. The reliance is completely on behavioral changes and symptoms.
