Common problems are lack of eye contact, poor attention, being able to point objects to others, and difficulty with the 'give and take' in normal conversation. Some speak only single words, while others repeat a mimicked phrase over and over The body language of people with autism can be difficult for other people to understand. Facial expressions, movements, and gestures may be easily understood by some other people with autism, but do not match those used by other people. Also, their tone of voice has a much more subtle inflection in reflecting their feelings, and the auditory system of a person without autism often cannot sense the fluctuations. 1.2 Identify problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may havein social interaction and relantionships Communication difficulties may contribute to autistic people becoming socially anxious or depressed or prone to self-injurious behaviours.
In conclusion, the compelling fact I learned was that people with Autism are often harmfully mislabeled "retards." This knowledge has taught me that autism should not be associated with the word "retard," as individuals who suffer from autism already have so many challenges to overcome in this world. Using respectful language is just one thing out of many people can do. After reading this article, I will continue to speak out about it and ask: please, just use a different
Evidence’s name: Research Paper outline Title: Autism educational and social effects Thesis statement: Understanding Autism and Intervention Strategies Introduction: The diagnosis of autism is one that can affect a parent. There is a big amount of confusion and controversy found in the disorder, from diagnosis to treatment.

They will have problem in communicating with the others, for example, not able to look into people’s eyes while talking to them, and strange habits that are not explainable when they are young. Therefore, they are treated differently and make them hard to integrate into the society because of their difference. People’s impression on Autism In Hong Kong, there are schools that provide care and education for the autistic people such as APS(Autism Partnership School).
This proposes that children have a very difficult time to see things from other person’s point of view. How their own or the others behaviour could cause something else. When a person is having a conversation, we use or analyse the context and behaviour of the other to understand the meaning of what they are trying to say. We also put ourselves in their position, which is very difficult for children with autism. They can’t comprehend that others might have different sort of beliefs other than
“Retard, Dangerous, Seizures, Speechless and Incapable of Love”, there’s more to Autism than cruel, false stereotypes. Did you know that some children diagnosed with Autism are equally capable as any other child of being verbal, bright, energetic, and just as normal as you and I? My younger brother has a mental disability called Fragile X and even though he does not have the physical characteristics most people associate with Autism and Down Syndrome, he does face challenges everyday due to stereotypes that make others believe he is incapable of doing daily tasks that we all take for granted. You may believe you understand Autism, due to the fact that you know what it “looks like”, but you do not. Autism does not have to affect physical characteristics.
Although there is no cure for this disorder, there are treatment plans available to help those affected by this disorder to be able to live and function in everyday life. Through my research, I have learned that dissociative identity disorder affects 0.01% to 1% of the general population but as much as 7% of the population may have undiagnosed dissociative identity disorder. I think that living with dissociative identity disorder would have to be among the most difficult things to live with, as it is possible that one of the personalities may even try to kill you and because there is no full cure.

The individuals that I support who are on the Autistic spectrum; individuals with Autism face communication barriers which can make it difficult for them to interact with other people and can sometimes be withdrawn from their environment for example, lack of I contact or difficulty to sustain a conversation due to a short attention span, the inability to read other peoples body language or facial gestures, Echolalia- repeating words that have been said to them without an understanding of what the words mean. Sometimes people with Autism spectrum disorders use some of these learnt words or phrases but not in the right context. The individuals supported within our home that have mental health difficulties for example Bipolar Disorder, have long stable periods of time but do experience extreme swings in mood- from periods of overactive, excited behaviour- known as “mania/manic episodes” to deep depression. Some individuals with Bipolar Disorder hear things that others around them do not. When an individual is being assessed to live at our home, it is my job to make sure that a full initial assessment
Autism is a disease that affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses make connections, or make logic. The most frustrating part about Autism is that we still do not know what causes this, or how to prevent it. This is a very serious mental disorder and it is also a very misunderstood disorder. People tend to associate autism with down syndrome and other mental disorders. Where in most cases the carrier of that disease isn't able to learn or retain information like a normal person could.
This example shows you that his mind hasn’t yet fully developed to understand the consequences brought to him by his actions. It’s in this philosophy that I believe juveniles should not be tried as adults. A child’s immaturity is his most dangerous trait. Many children lack the ability to rationalize a stressful situation. Adults have a hard time making the right judgment calls, imagine the mindset of an emotional immature child?
