Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder commonly known as ADHD , is a mental road block that causes the person to have an inability to concentrate. Often, a general lack of interest is the cause of someones inattentiveness, however, with ADHD it is not a choice, it does not matter how interested the person may be in the subject, they simply cannot force themselves to pay attention. Although nobody has been able to explain what causes ADHD, there have been many studied performed in order to determine it as a "real" disorder, studies have shown a difference in the brains of those with ADHD compared to those without it. Neuroimaging shows the ADHD brain to have lower cerebral volume, and clearly showed loss of the normal asymmetry in the size of the caudate nucleus.This proves that ADHD is a condition that should not be ignored. The issues that come along with it cause the disorder cause serious stress, but luckily there are many ways to treat the disorder, and "work with it" for example, studies show that people who have ADHD learn best when the information they need to recieve is in put into chunks, rather than them having to read too much between the lines. Also, cognitive behaviour theropy is also known to be effective in treating the side effects. It is not something that can be cured, yet, however if it affects a person so much that they can't get through days without breaking down, there is medication that your doctor can provide you in order to keep stability and allow the person to live their life and not have it interupted by ADHD.

Autism

Autism is a spectrum disorder, which means that it's severity depends on the person. On the lowest side of the spectrum is Aspergers syndrome, with is a very mild form of Autism, often the person has a high IQ, yet has difficulty learning how to act socially acceptable, they lack the ability to read social cues and are often socially inept. on the more severe side of the spectrum there is non-verbal autism, which is about as serious as autism can be. These children may likely never develop speech, and if they do- their autism is so serious that they will not be able to speak about very much, because they will eventually lose the information that they once processed. There is a huge controversial argument that states that the cause of autism is due to a negative reaction to immunization, which contains a Mercury based preservative called Thymarisol, which some people may be allergic to, this vaccination is said to cause a problem with some intestines, causes they to produce a harmful chemical that rushes to the brain. However, nobody is sure what exactly causes Autism, but it certainly needs to be discovered because the percentage of people with autism is raising rapidly around the world, one in every 150 people develop autism. This shows that it should be taken very seriously, because there are so many sufferers who struggle everyday with simple things such as learning to tie their shoes. This needs to end, treatment must be found in order to help these people stabilize their lives.

Mental roadblocks from Dyslexia

We have all heard the term "Dyslexia" and often it is associated as a condition that causes the reader to see words and letters backwards. However, there is a lot more to it than that. Did you know that there are 3 fundamental types of Dyslexia? each form affects people in different ways. Here are the three types: Dysnemkinesia which effects motor control, Dysphonesia which is a deficit in ones ability to pronounce and distinguish sounds. Lastly, there is Dyseidesia which is a form of Dyslexia that effects people visually. Dyslexia causes mental roadblocks for everyone who suffers with the learning disorder, however, it varies from mild to severe Dyslexia. Often people who are not educated on the topic will brand a child as lazy or careless, which cause the people with dyslexia to feel even more stressed than they already are. Can you imagine wanting to be able to do things you're expected to do, and not be able to do it- and on top of that, teachers and classmates accuse you of not trying. All brains are wired differently, and we must not allow any prejudices to be placed upon anyone in a classroom, because for all you know- that person who is being labeled as "lazy" or "careless" are the students who care the most, and have to think extra hard to figure out things that come natural to others. That doesn't sound like laziness to me.
