Additions/edits are in BOLD.
Prevention
There are no known direct cause related to autism. It is known that certain genetics and environmental factors can increase risk. There is no prevention at this time.[1] While infection with rubella during pregnancy causes fewer than 1% of cases of autism, vaccination against rubella can prevent many of those cases.
 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Aggression - add after communication
It is common for children with ASD to engage in aggressive behaviors as substitution for a gap in communication. This aggression may be directed to themselves or towards others. Examples may include, but are not limited to head-butting, biting, throwing, kicking, and punching. It is helpful for parents to recognize triggers that might be antecedents to these behaviors.[2]
Communication
Sign language may be used in conjunction with ABA services to provide communication in those who are nonverbal or have not developed verbal language.[3] Sign language may also decrease undesired behaviors (tantrums, crying) by providing a way to express their needs or desires. Common signs taught are eat, drink, and more.[4]

Instructor feedback: I do not see where you have drafted any contributions for this assignment. (Liz)
Peer review response:
The person that reviewed my article did not read it since they said my contributions were great. At that time I had not made any, and all I had in my sandbox was a few sentences copied over from the article. I did make edits to the prevention section since there was only one sentence. I might add more, but it needed more to it than just about the rubella vaccine. I am also going to add a section about aggression after communication. Aggression can be a form of communication, so I thought it was fitting. I also plan on adding the usage of ASL and the affects of overstimulation.
