Describe the three main cognitive theories of autism (i.e., Theory of Mind, Executive dysfunction, Weak Central Coherence) and evaluate how well they explain autistic symptoms. Autism was originally a term that was coined by Bleuler in his paper “Dementia praecox oder Grupper der Shizophrenien” published in 1911. In this paper the term was used to refer to a form of schizophrenia characterised by extreme isolation. The word autism originates from the Greek word ‘autos’ meaning self. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that is characterised by challenges with communication, difficulty with social interactions and a likelihood to engage in repetitive behaviour.

Narcissistic Personality An anonymously-written famous quote goes, “In order to love others, we must first love ourselves.” For some people, loving themselves may have been taken to another level.

School children can show signs with lack of sleep, weight loss and becoming withdrawn. They may have trouble concentrating and give up on tasks easily and may have a low sense of sense worth.

The topic I read about was weather there is a relation between Autism and the vaccinations that those who have the disorder may have received. Autism is a brain disorder that normally shows by age three, people tend to have impaired communication and interpersonal skills along with so restricted or repetitive behavior. The two articles go over how a key ingredient in vaccines may cause this disorder, while the other aims to show how the relation is nothing more than a myth. The first article was on how autism is caused by vaccines, and is called “Deadly Immunity” by Robert E Kennedy Jr. One of the main points of this article was how one of the main ingredients called thimerosal and its main ingredient ethylmercury which was in most vaccines until the early 2000’s is the main cause for autism in child, because it’s a toxic chemical. There have been studies that have proven thimerosal accumulates in the brains of animals after they had been vaccinated, also even small amount of the ethylmercury can cause brain damage even years later.

Ok so i typed this up last night on my computer but its my life story as good as i can remember and tell. I grew up never having money or much of anything my dad worked all day everyday to make sure the bills were paid and there was food on the table. my mom also worked late hours to help so it was essientally just me and my brother which caused me to grow up at a young age. Around the age of 5 or 6 they took me to the doctor becuase i would always raise hell and they were told i had an agressive case of ADHD.

Throughout this stage and age I have been told time and time again that I was the worst child to deal with out of all my siblings. Since I was very hyper active going up they saw more indictors of ADHD so they ended up putting me on medication. I would refuse to take this medication mainly because pills freaked me out. When I refused to take the pill they gave me something else to try that was almost like a power substance to mix with my food so I didn’t have to take the pill, I would still refuse to take it. This was also around the time that my parents were separating and my dad moved out of the house, leaving my mom to be a single parent.
