It is said that very big intellectuals/celebrities,like Eienstien,Bill gates suffered from autism during their infancy.This is fully crrectable ,provided ,it is recognised early &appropriate environemental stimulation given at early age itself.

6)POOR MUSCLE TONE-80%
7)TOE WALKING
8)MANTAL RETARDATION--MOSTLY
9)STRONG GENETIC BASIS.

AUTHER'S CONCEPTUAL THOUGHTS :

All the afore said clinical features are difficult to identify by non medical people.On the contrary it will be easier to identify that certain signs of intelligence are present or not &such signs keep increasing as they grow This intellectual improvement is continuous about a new "sign every week or atleast every month,once.IF A PARENT IS UNABLE TO identifysuch intelligent signs periodically ,then they should consult a senoir pediatritian or a child psychologist

The intellgence signs are present from age one month onwards & is a continuous Copying what elders do is a sign of intellgenceprocess.
What are the signs of intelligence(parents should ask the doctor)

Here are some examples:
At age one month :mother talks to new bornwhich listens carefully.After 1-3 minutes the baby makes1)bodily movements.2)babbles some sounds.3)hand movements obvious4)eye contact established with mother.5)looks at another person when interrupted atleast for a second.6)maks us know that its vision&hearing are good7)Obviously body language &sounds establish communication attempt without any doubt.If these are not found at age 3 months parents should consult an 'appropriate' doctorInnumerable signs of intelligence can be had from the auther by e-mail(drselvarajp@yahoo.com)

CONCLUSION&SUMMARY:
All babies are not born with adequate intelligence.At least 2-5 %childrn have sub standard intelligence,&they need to be identified early.parents must be vigilant to look for intellgence signs periodically from age one month ,when such intelligence signs ,are invisible they should report to an experienced doctor who will catogorise wheather it is1)hypothyroid state,2)Hearing disorder,3)vision disorder,4)small/big headcircumference, 5)Downs syndrome,6)Autismspectrumdisorder7)behaviur disorder 8)sensory system disorder 9)congenital metabolic/aminoacid disorder--All will cause permanent &irrevocable B R A I N D A M A G E ..
