Autism

Autism is a very common disorders that affects thousands of people everyday in the world. Some of the people with this disorders need help in order to live day by day others move on to live in an independent living facility. Although, some people believe that autistic people can't live on their own it's inspiring what they overcome and gain through out their childhood. Without the help of parents, doctors, teachers, or IEP it's hard for them to do things on their own. There is many strategies that teachers, and parents can do to help kids who are autistic learn in school and use as a tool when they reach adulthood.

Relationships with family and friends are extremely important

to most people. Indeed, even as babies, individuals can tell their parental figures how they feel by grinning, snickering, whining, or crying. Suppose you experienced issues understanding your own emotions, and were not able to articulate those sentiments.

People with autistic disorder have these problems. “Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying digress, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors." ("What Is Autism?" Autism Speaks. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Nov. 2016.) Autism is the condition in the results of a neurological disorder that has an effect on the normal brain function, affecting development of the individual’s interaction and social communication. Is mess up in the brain so the brain A person with Autism may have constrained social abilities and also troublesome comprehending the meaningful gestures of others. “Additionally, many people with autism may have unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interest. In children this might appear as a preference for a certain toy.” (Veague,

Heather Barnett. Autism. New York, NY: Chelsea House, 2010. Print.) The physical characteristics of a children with autism is, 'lack of eye contact, hand shaking, head slamming, repetitive behavior, agression, crying fits, dosen't respond, and low muscle tone." ( "The Physical Characteristics of Children with Autism - How to Detect Autism in Children." Health Guide Info. N.p., 06 July 2010. Web. 01 Dec. 2016.) There has also been a controversy over immunization nd their impact in autism. Many specialist and experts guarantee that there is no connection between he immunization, on the other hand others believe that certain vaccine could have probably activated a pre-existing autism genes . There is yet no answer for whether immunizations are to be faulted for autism. They believe that chemicals in everyday products are to be faulted for as to the extent environmental factors are concerned. Babies with autism are rarley born premature. As most people know that having dangerous exposures along your pregnacy and diffuculties along a delievery can obstruct brain process before birth. On the other hand, Autism can't be determend until atleast 1 or 2 years old. Throughout the time the joints start breaking down which involes tenderness before they start feeling pain. Afterall, as parents they start noticing when something is unusual and start getting concerned over the months Some parents will start noticing by the actions that their child shows when they interact with other, read, or their actions. There's two steps that helps to determine if a child has autism spectrum disorder before they're diagnosed: Developmental screening and Comprehensive Diagnostic Evalution. Developmental screening is when the doctors start off by asking the child parents their medical history while questioning if their is certain things that they catch that is unsual and concerns them. The doctor may try to get the child attention and play around w them to focus on how the child reacts, speaks, moves, and his or her behavior as the doctor. A postponement in any of these zones could be an issue. Comprehensive Diagnostic Evalution is the second step of diagnosing they go through physical assessments and labratory tests which include; physical exam they check the weight, and height to make sure that the child is groing in a normal pattern, hearing tests to check if the child is having hearing problems that causes developmental delays, and vision screening. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests screening frequentley planned for children with autism called well-kid visits. " Early diagnosis and treatment can help the child reach his or her full potential." ("Autism-Exams and Tests." WebMD. WebMD, n.d. Web. 01 Dec. 2016. ) The visits helps specialists analyze certain signs that the child makes at his/her early course of age. Once the child is diagnosed a day may refer them to certain specialists.A developmental peditrician is a special trainer in child development. A Child Neurologist works on children with autism that involve their brain, nervous system, spine area, and ect. Therefore, there is also a Child Physchologist or Phychiatrist helps children to learn to interact with other kids and engage themselves by learning. There is also school Physchologists that help/work with students that have special needs that go through prespective behavior, social anxiety they help them gain a relationsip with teachers and students in school. A autistic children should recieve as much help as they learn throughout their school years. Autism has a program that is very helpful for each individual who has autism to able to have a school goal and learn throughout the years called Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Just like every class has standards that they have to complete and follow by the end of the school year students with Autism also have an objective and plan for each individual to follow and meet each goal set according to what the school district has planned to teach each student following this program. The plan of the program is to analyze the progress the studen't have made. As a special educator teacher there is many ways that can engage a children with autistc in class and most important help them learn. The best ways are to give small step while insturuction and avoiding long lectures. Certain kids are still not able to read which pictures are very helpful for them yet the ones that can read can be given written instructions. Showing videos or a favorite show can help as part as a reading lesson as they watch television they carry on words by hearing them, it's also best not to include captions for the ones who are not able to read. Including things that autistics children may like and seek their interest makes it easy for them to want to learn for example, if they like balls you can include in the lesson a math game. As in behavior issues and social reading books can be something that can help them pick up differenrt emotions for example, showing them happy faces, or sad faces can help them memorize what emotion it is. Making a schedule in a way that can help them understand will be beneficial like making a clock and beside the time what takes place including images of that activity helps them understand easier. Lastly, acceptance of stimming is something important "stimming" is a behavior that autistic people carry like repeating words over and over again, repetitive behavior, clappimg, making noise, or fidgeting. In some cases an autistic child may harm themselves or other people by bitting, or hitting it's best to speak to a cordinator for help to try to help the child that has these certain behavior stim. When a child is diagnosed with autism doctors check which of the five subgroups the children falls above which is; Asperger's syndrom: " This diagnosis indicates an individual with a high functioning level and good verbal skills. Most of the impairment is in social interactions and functional use of language." ( "The Physical Characteristics of Children with Autism - How to Detect Autism in Children." Health Guide Info. N.p., 06 July 2010. Web. 01 Dec. 2016.)
I meet a girl a while ago named Alelane Tithee Vankman Sothat told me that her nephew had autism and I asked her, " how did your brother know or had any idea that your nephew has this disorder?, what did yall do to help him once the doctors told yall?" She answered, " so basically when Rylan was born, nothing seemed off.

He responded to us, interacted, and everything. When he was 8 months that's when he started not responding he would stare off into space and wanted to be alone.My sister-in-law saw commercials about autism and she knew it was that so at the age of 1 we got evaluated at Vanderbilt, they ran tests and said he had autism. Our family thought he was a late bloomer because we've had cousins that didn't start speaking until 1st grade but, with Rylan it was different. He would always play alone he would never try to speak to anybody. He dosen't like loud noises or being in crowded places. We've had him in therapy ever since, he's learned so much. Throughout being in therapy he's learned how to speak, sign languages, and also how to interact with other childrens and adults. He's 3 now he's been going to school (Pre-K) with other autistic children. He has therapy every week, Monday's and Wednesdays. Our family treats him no differently than others he's part of this family as I am. Rylan is such a smart, energetic, and beautiful little boy. Our family loves him.

We call him and his little brother the hurricane and tornado because, they both walk into a room and stir the whole place up, not in a bad way. Nobody ever minds watching him because he's such a sweet child. We're forever blessed to have him and help him get through this."
