Is this in first person? Stating my ideas and opinions? Could articulate to a classmate.

"What is autism? If not, we are all going to find out. Myself, I remember it being difficult for me to fully grasp what autism meant. If people don't know, it is a neurodevelopmental disease that is characterized by problems in social interaction and communication in addition to repetitive behaviors. People with autism exhibit unusual actions in young, generally developing children, children with mental impairment, or adults. I have witnessed what some autistic children and adults do, they tend to repeat themselves over again. Many people, including myself, are unaware that autism is more common in boys than in girls. A large majority of affected individuals first appear physically normal, but they have physical defects that may indicate problems in development during the first trimester. Caregiver, educator, and employer challenges are increased by autism. This has to be changed. If someone comes in that has autism then we should be taught how to accommodate their needs instead of singling them out. Unfortunately, despite improvements, there is no sensible scientific treatment for this condition. According to research, the majority of instances of autism are triggered by a genetic anomaly that interferes with the normal development of the central nervous system and results in the phenotype that we phrase autism. Determining what is inherited and how it needs to be measured is critical when researching the genetic pathways behind behavioral problems. The "broader phenotype" of behavioral disorder that runs in families may consist of more than just autism. Although there are some non-genetic causes of autism, this condition is often the result of an aberrant genotype. With this being genetic, the question arises of whether siblings can get the same genetics. The simple answer is yes, about nine percent. Twin studies provide more credence to autism's genomic foundation. Numerous institutions throughout the world have made significant efforts to pinpoint the genes connected to autism. The severity of autism and degree of cognitive functioning, according to the study's findings, are linked to a variation in a gene that codes for an enzyme vital to brain growth and function."
