one child has autism.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication. Often there is also restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents usually notice signs in the first two or three years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism reach their developmental milestones at a normal pace and then worsen. Autism is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Risk factors include certain infections during pregnancy such as rubella as well as valproic acid, alcohol, or cocaine use during pregnancy. Controversies surround other proposed environmental causes; for example the vaccine hypotheses, which have been disproven. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs is not well understood. In the DSM V, autism is included within the autism spectrum (ASDs), along with Asperger syndrome which is less severe, and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). Early speech or behavioral interventions can help children with autism gain self-care, social, and communication skills. Although there is no known cure, there have been cases of children who recovered.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They thought my nephew might have autism, it's a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication."}, {"role": "user", "content": "oh what was the outcome of the testing ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well they first noticed some signs in the first two to three years of his life, but he eventually stopped doing those things, so I don't think they ever did any \"testing\" really."}, {"role": "user", "content": "oh thats good "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes it is good, it's odd how some people think that vaccines cause autism, though it's been sufficiently disproven I think."}, {"role": "user", "content": "i dont believe its been disproven at all.  the CDC has clearly manipulated their numbers when looking at the raw stats"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well I suggest you educate yourself better on the scientific consensus that recommends vaccines as safe and effective, and not listen to conspiracy theorists like Jenny McCarthy."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I havent seen her since her MTV days..
