| | However, if you are at high risk of having a child with Down syndrome or you already have one child with Down syndrome, you may wish to consult a genetic counselor before becoming pregnant. | | | For example, babies with Down syndrome don't have good muscle tone, so a physical therapist can help your baby learn to roll over, sit up and walk. | | | He or she can also explain the prenatal tests you will be offered and help you figure out the pros and cons of testing for your particular situation. |

| | Asperger's notion of a continuum that embraces both smart, geeky kids like Nick and those with so-called classic or profound autism has been accepted by the medical establishment only in the last decade. | | | In the last 20 years, significant advances have been made in developing methods of behavioral training that help autistic children find ways to communicate. | | | In it, psychologist Tony Attwood describes children who lack basic social and motor skills, seem unable to decode body language and sense the feelings of others, avoid eye contact, and frequently launch into monologues about narrowly defined - and often highly technical - interests. |

| | A strategy of trying to keep your captor happy in order to stay alive becomes an obsessive identification with the likes and dislikes of the captor which has the result of warping your own psyche in such a way that you come to sympathize with your tormenter! | | | This struck some folks as weird, and as a way of coping with this uneasiness, as they started seeing more examples they named this class of strange behavior the “Stockholm Syndrome.” | | | The botched bank robbery is simply too mundane to be the source of such an exotic explanation, which really seems to have been more of an attack on the idea of peaceful resolution tactics, particularly when applied to mentally disturbed perpetrators (as if murderers, rapists and armed robbers were not severely dysfunctional). |

Some patients with Munchhausen's syndrome cause their own illness, as by secretly ingesting or injecting substances. |
