The strike of puberty, young adults go through serious changes in their body and mind, and parents have little or no control over many situations. In an autistic child, puberty is no different. Although your autistic child knows not puberty enough ways as well as others, his age, major hormonal changes occur even in the body. This can lead to extreme results, and it can be either good or bad depending on how your child reacts to the new hormonal levels.

Experience of many autistic people seized from birth to age adult, but even if your child does not suffer from these episodes, he or she can begin to experience seizures in puberty, and later, due to new levels of hormones in the body. Strange as it may seem, violent earthquake seized are not necessarily a bad thing. One-quarter of children with autism experience seizures, but many are not detected because they are not the manual versions of seizures. If you recognize that your child has a seizure, you can do something about it, and doctors will be able to better treat your child. However, if crises are unconsciously going on, you and your child can do. The result of these small hidden seizures may be a loss of function which can be devastating, especially if your child improves before puberty. Regular control during puberty, is therefore extremely important.

The important thing about puberty is to learn how to monitor changes in your child very carefully and ask your doctor questions. Don't forget that puberty is a difficult experience for a young adult, and therefore it will be even more difficult for a person with autism. Try the patience of the practice and understanding with your teen and make sure to regulate its autism so that the transition between child and adult will go more smoothly.
