Because all people are different, the way autism effects them is also different. 3 Autistic individuals may have symptoms that are independent of the diagnosis, but that can affect individual and the family.

Many individual with ASD shows superior skills in perception and attention , relative to the general population.
Assignment 023 task c.b- give three examples of why sometimes child/ young person’s development does not follow the expected pattern. For many children some additions below are the reason why some children and young people’s development may not follow the expected pattern. Occasionally there are children for whom despite investigation; no specific reasons can be found. Disability A disability may prevent a child from developing in one or more areas. Early support might minimise the effect of the disability by for example organising specific equipment for the child.
Communication difficulties may contribute to autistic adults they become socially anxious or depressed or prone to self-injurious behaviours. Many adults with autism are being diagnosed with co-morbid mood, anxiety and compulsive disorders which may also contribute to behavioural and functioning challenges. There are different types of problems and not all will occur in each case. These can generally be described as 'not being able to get on with people'. So the adults may: * Seem to be aloof.
Children of this age tend to be very impulsive. Their brains have not yet reached a balance. This is due to the “immaturity of the prefrontal cortex” [ (Berger, 2011) ]. This can lead children to make decisions without thinking about them fully or considering the consequences that could take place. At this time period children do not have the capability to use reason.
There is little awareness or understanding of the needs of people who develop dementia at an early age, and this can make it very difficult for younger people to access adequate support. There are sometimes significant age-related barriers for younger people trying to get access to dementia services. If no specialist services exist, younger people with dementia can find themselves lost between services, none of which will accept responsibility for their care.
learning or physical. Learning disabilities which affect development could be: Autism; autism is a disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. Children with autism find it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.

Learning disabilities vary, but usually affects a person’s ability to function in school. Sensory disabilities affects the senses including sight and hearing.
If a child of 12-24 months has a physical hindrance, such as a disability, this could have a knock on effect on their social development. It may cause a child to explore their surroundings less and restrict peer interaction, thus creating a social barrier. A child may feel different to peers and cause them to be less confident and less interactive. Adults can support this by providing emotional support and physical supports and aids, for example crutches, wheel chairs, and ramps so that the child can interact and socialise more effectively. 8-12 Years Effect of emotional on social
As they mature, some children with autism become more engaged with others and show less marked disturbances in behavior. Some, usually those with the least severe problems, eventually may lead normal or near-normal lives. Others, however, continue to have great difficulty with language or social skills, and the adolescent years can mean a worsening of behavior problems. The majority of children with autism are slow to acquire new knowledge or skills and some have signs of lower than normal intelligence. Other children with autism have normal to high intelligence.
3.1 Disability – a physical or mental condition that limits a person’s movement senses or activities. Some of the effects of being disabled in children include not being able to partake in everyday activities without specialist equipment such as riding a bike. Other effects it can have include impeding a child’s communication and interaction, cognitive and learning and behaviour emotional and social development. Long term effect can impede on children causing them to have low self-esteem low self-confidence, meaning that they are unlikely to believe in their self to get good jobs. 3.2 It is important to have a positive attitude towards disability so that you are setting a good example for the other children for example if we as practitioners
