Down syndrome (DS) is a condition where extra genetic material causes issues in the way a person develops, both mentally and physically. The physical features and medical problems associated with Down syndrome can vary widely depending on each different person. While some people with DS need a lot of medical attention, others live healthy and normal lives. Though Down syndrome can't be prevented, it can be detected before a child is born. The health problems that may go along with DS can be…

The documentary “Autism is a World” allows us to sympathize with a child who has Autism. The symptoms of this disorder can be present from birth to age two, on a spectrum from mild to severe. Autism is present among a myriad of individuals, but we can see the devastating impact it has on a child’s life through Sue Rubin. Sue struggles with normal activities, such as shopping and must have a support system at all times. Overall, autism is different for each individual, but in the documentary…

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENT: “The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) is a semi-structured, standardized assessment of communication, social interaction, and play or imaginative use of materials for individuals who have been referred because of possible autism spectrum disorder (ASDs).” (Lord, Rutter, 2000). The ADOS consists of 5 different modules that start with children as young as toddlers and up to adults. The ADOS allows the examiner to observe behaviors that are common…

genotype, the most notable chromosome would be the 21st. Chromosome 21 is a very small chromosome, one of the smallest in fact. Despite this, two prominent syndromes are related to genes on it; Alzheimer’s disease and down syndrome, both causing intellectual impediments. Alzheimer’s causes dementia and its effects worsen over time, while down syndrome causes delays in physical and mental growth. As I said, chromosome 21 is one of the smallest chromosomes in the human body and represents…

Down syndrome is the most common genetic condition around the world. It is increasing tremendously over the years. According to Mayo Clinic down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21, this genetic disorder causes lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays, and in some people it causes health problems. There are different types of Down syndrome. At first, trisomy 21 that are cause by an error in cell…

Quentin’s physician believes had has Klinefelter syndrome due to his enlarge breast tissue, long limbs, and abnormally small testes. Based on my findings, “Klinefleter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male physical and cognitive development”(Genetics Home, 2015). This genetic disorder is a result of having 2 X and a Y-chromosomes mixed together. Individuals living with Klinefeter syndrome typically have small testes that do not produce as much testosterone as usual”(Genetic Home,…

There are many pieces to this puzzle known as autism, which makes it one of the more complex social issues faced by today’s society. Although autism is a widespread condition that affects the lives of millions of Americans, there is still the majority of American population that remains uneducated regarding this condition. The lack of cure has propelled many autistic people towards a life of uncertainty and hopelessness. While this is true, there are some solutions that can make life better for…

It was a fine day, raining and cloudy. At least that's what classifies as a fine day for John Cena, because he has autism. "I am all happy today standing here, john cena said" said John Cena. Suddenly, out of the nearby bushes jumped ChrisChan. He had always wanted to make friends with someone else with autism (although at this point he just wants any friend cause he has none) and he found out on wikipedia that John Cena has autism, so between illustrating and writing his sonic webcomic,…

21 is the congenital disorder better known as Down syndrome. This occurs when each cell has three copies of chromosome twenty-one rather than having a normal pair. Nondisjunction is "an error in which homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate normally during meiosis or mitosis" (Huether, McCancep, 2012, p.42). Therefore, a common cause of Down syndrome is nondisjunction. Scientists have made the discovery that Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome, but the cause…

Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental condition in which it effects thousands of children and adults all around the world (Mayo Clinic, 2014). It is a condition that causes problematic in affecting one’s own life. Individuals suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder may come across difficulties in, expressing what they are feeling. They also have significant difficulty as to their verbal communication skills and inability of engaging in a social interaction (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Finding the root…
