Sibling Relationship With Autism

The etiology of autism has been debated over many years since its discovery by Kanner and Asperger in the 1940s (). The theories of the physical abnormalities in the brain shape and structure, biochemical imbalance of neurotransmitter, and the genetic predisposition or vulnerability have been attributed as potential causes that lead to this condition in children. Thus, it appears there are multiple factors that contribute to its development in a child (Autism Society, 2015). Appropriate treatment of ASD should consist of thorough assessment to identify the strengths and needs of the children. The diagnosis is determined after systematic interviewing, observation, and assessment of the child 's communication, social interaction, behavior, and

Autistic characters are in several movies, but that does not mean that there is diversity in autism representation. Consequently, the similarity between the characters builds only one autistic as a reference of the disorder.

Change in aspects related to my family, our savings, and more importantly—myself. With Autism came the divorce of my parents, them getting married to new people, and now having four grandmothers instead of two. With Autism came all the college funds and life savings going straight to my brother in speech classes and a special school for Autistic children that my mother would drive 30 minutes everyday to. With Autism came the change in me, the change in my personality and ability to have empathy and kindness towards others. With Autism I grew, and with Autism I learned more about the harsh and beautiful reality of the world. With Autism I became independent, and with Autism I continue to work hard everyday in an attempt to pay back my brother and my parents for the sacrifices and pain they have endured. To put it briefly, Autism unleashes an immense amount of change. However hard to detect at first glance, that change in the long run can only result in growth, maturity, and

Autism is a lifelong brain disorder that messes with the development of the brain and make it harder for a person to communicate and interact with others. Some other symptoms to autism is repetitive behaviors. Since Autism is a spectrum disorder people diagnosed will have similar problems, but their condition will affect them in different ways. It is also a spectrum disorder because not every child has the same problems. One child can

Introduction: "How many of you have spoke your first word before kindergarten?" "Or did you learn how to read and write at an early age?" Some children have a hard time communicating to express their needs. Others might have trouble with certain skills such as daily living skills ranging from doing laundry and cleaning the house to dressing themselves. Most children are struggling academically in several subjects such as writing, mathematics, reading, art, and so on. Also, some children are very sensitive to certain things around them such as enormous crowds and lights

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a brain-based developmental disorder that involves multiple abnormal perceptual, cognitive, linguistic and social behaviors. With rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder rising, it is important that we improve our understanding of the causes of the disorder and become more culturally aware and sensitive to screening for the disorder in order to find effective interventions. Understanding of the current clinical picture, etiology and treatment of ASD will be discussed.

Even though there are positive or advantages of having an autism spectrum disorder or ASD, there are still some disadvantages of having it. People on the autistic spectrum face many issues, from the continuous challenge of trying to be comfortable with others, to the irritation that they are not able to express how they feel, to the devastating anxiety because they cannot make sense of what is happening around them. As stated in the site of Weebly (2016), some of the disadvantages of

The three distinctive behaviours of Autism are: Repetitive behaviours, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction. When parents realize that their child has autism they should be emotionally strong. Being consistent in your child’s learning environment is very key to reinforce learning. Also they should be able to find non-verbal ways to communicate with their child. You just have to learn their language of communication. Human beings with autism have said that the world, to them, appears to be a mass of events, people and places which they contend to make sense of, and which can cause them considerable anxiety. To be specific relating and understanding to other people, and taking part in everyday social life and family may be a bit challenging for them. Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, and some people with autism may wonder why they are different. People with autism have challenges with both non-verbal and verbal language. Many of them have a literal understanding of language, and think people always mean exactly what they say. They find it often too difficult to understand: common phrases and saying, jokes and sarcasm and facial expressions or tone of voice. There are standard healthcare services designed to maintain the health and well-being of individuals with autism. They comprise of a wide range of treatments and therapies which are accepted and used by the majority of health care professionals. Service-based interventions include interventions supporting people with autism in education, employment and social care

“Many descriptions of autism and Asperger’s describe people like me as “not wanting contact with others” or “preferring to play alone.” I can’t speak for other kids, but I’d like to be very clear about my own feeling: I did not ever want to be alone… I played by myself because I was a failure at playing with others. I was alone as a result of my own limitations, and being alone was one of the bitterest disappointments of my young life.” (p211)

Autism is the struggle to develop social abilities, languages, and other communication skills that are usual to others. In my eyes, I

The aim of this essay is to look at Autism within Early Years settings. It will consider if a child who presents with Autistic traits which leads to behaviour issues, receives the inclusive learning environment that is required for them to reach their full potential. It will examine the factors that can affect children with Autism and reflect on how this makes a difference to their behaviour; positive and negative, evaluating whether Early Years Settings are equipped to manage in these situations.

Autism is a spectrum disorder that results in varying levels of severity. This means that autism is actually an umbrella term that is used to describe symptoms that can be found among the three major disorder types: autism, Asperger's syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Therefore, every autistic student has individualized symptoms and conditions. Autism effects a student's social, behavior and language skills. First, the child may exhibit strange facial expressions or body language. They may have a lack of common interests and be unable to engage in social interaction. They struggle to understand people's feelings and make friends. Second, they may experience

The symptoms of autistic disorder (often referred to as autism) includes a failure to develop a normal social relation with other people, impaired development of communicative ability, and the presence of repetitive stereotype behavior (Carlson 2013). The neurodevelopmental disorder that I select is autism. Many parents around the world are suffering and struggling with their kids. Most of those kids are nonverbal, and unable to communicate. Many Parents find it difficult to help control their kids’ tantrums. The kids have difficulty eating, sleeping, interacting with peers. It hard to say that Autism is for life I can’t imagine having a child with autism. Working with Autism and learning so much about it is gift. Autism is a disorder that produce repetitive behavior in a child and affects ability to socialize with others, and decreases their ability to communicate. Maino, Viola, & Donati, 2009). Stated that, Autism is a

It always seems odd to me when people ask me what it is like to be on the autism spectrum. Often, I notice that I forget that everyone around me is not autistic like I am. But sometimes, something will happen that snaps me back into painful awareness that I am not neurotypical. I have noticed this most when it comes to my experiences with school. Because autism is such a huge part of who I am as an individual, autism has impacted my education in many different ways. Ultimately, this presents itself in two major ways: the way in which my thought process is different from my peers and my ability to engage in and understand social situations which greatly affect my educational experience.

There are many common diseases that modify the functions of the human body. Neurological diseases, for example, could affect anyone at any time. The worst kinds of neurological diseases are those which can affect the functions of the human brain. A well-known example is autism, and it has become a widespread disease among children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 of every 68 children in the U.S would have autism spectrum disorder; moreover, the study shows that 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls would have autism spectrum disorder (1). Autism is a disorder in the nerves that makes the human brain socially inactive, and in order to understand it, several main aspects must be considered.
