UNIT 4222-378 (LD 310) Outcome 1 1. People on the autistic spectrum have share certain difficulties, their condition effect them in different ways. Some people with autism are able to live reactively independent lives but others may have accompanying learning disabilties and need a life time of specialist support.

Students have difficulties in vocabulary, retrieving a word when needed, understanding multiple meanings, and figurative language. Students may also struggle with phonological processes matching symbols to the sounds they represent. It is possible to exhibit significant difficulties fitting into social settings due to difficulties in language. Language disorders are usually identified using standardized tests and the observations of those with whom the child interacts. Speech disorders may be identified using an articulation test.
These interests can range from media such as music or tv and film to vehicles or electronics. Some autistic people may take this interest into study path and into a career but for some it will just stay as a hobby. People with autism could also have other learning disabilities which could affect they're studying or there homelife. These learning disabilities can be different with each person, some may live a ‘normal’ independent life whereas others will need a lot of care and support. These learning disabilities can range from ADHD to Dyslexia and
Living with the possibility of being shunned or teased by “normal” people, a lack of friends, physical limitations, displaying inappropriate behaviors in public, and having a low self-image are daily challenges for those who have developmental disabilities.

The public areas also may not be adequate or convenient for those with disabilities. Because of these factors many people with disabilities are forced to be dependent on others for assistance when they could have normally been independent.
