All About Autism
-
Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior.
A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.
Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual.
The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours.
Early recognition, as well as behavioural, educational and family therapies may reduce symptoms and support development and learning.

Another aspect of autism is sensory issues. It explains why they behave in certain ways and it is also the same sensory sensitivity that gives some of these individuals the abilities to be better than neuro typical in performing certain tasks - they process in more details that neuro typical find it “overwhelming”.

There is this school of thought: In the world where the very large majority will design the world around what is most comfortable to them. Imagine if the minority autistic is allow to design the world around their in born comfort level instead, the rest of the people will now have sensory issues. Thus the term “neuro typical” to describe the normal people. It is not that these normal people are more normal in absolute term, they are just more of them - more “typical”.
Neuro typical finds reading lines after lines of number overloading and they design computer to ease it. Neuro typical constantly simulated themselves out of boredom by inventing intoxication/shopping. Neuro typical have their everyday obsessions. Loosely, these are the neuro typical’s equivalence to the autistic’ s overloading/under simulating/ obsessions?
Ok , true to my style, again: The movie “Accountant”, is a dramatised depiction of the right design can transform a person with autism into a more productive person than a neuro typical (have to watch till the end to see it). -
Choose the right school for your child with autism.

The main issues would be: [list]
The decision to enroll a child with mild Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mainstream or special needs school really bother me..any advise here?- intellectually - can the child keep up in mainstream - if no, shouldn't try mainstream
[/list][list]- socially/emotionally - can the child manage without a lot of special assistance - if no, shouldn't try mainstream
[/list][list]- behaviourally - will the child be disruptive in mainstream school - if yes, shouldn't try mainstream
[/list]Basically, mainstream school cannot provide much assistance and coaching (if any at all), and so it's only suitable if the child can mostly manage on his own, with coaching and support provided mostly outside school. And if the child is likely to struggle with the schoolwork, or not be able be accepted by the other kids, or be disruptive in the classroom, then mainstream school will not be suitable. -

He can try to learn to be at ease with himself and others. When others sense easiness around him, they may more likely to feel comfortable around him and show it, whether he really is weird or not.

How old is he? And what is the \"weirdness\"?

Perhaps you could ask a teacher to have a quiet word to the class or some of the classmates (when he isn't there) to explain a little and ask them to be more accommodating. You may or may not want \"autism\" to be specifically mentioned. Here are some suggestions which you could share with the teacher, and you can adapt where necessary.

Try to find out what the situations are where issues arise, and see if you can explain them to your kid, and work out strategies. See the section on \"Personalised teaching stories\" midway in the link below - I found those very helpful with my daughter.

I found that approaching from both ends (child and school) really helped. I never used the term \"autism\" at all, but rather just described her traits - \"introvert\", \"poor social skills\", \"not good at conversation in groups, better at one-on-one\", \"finds it hard to pay attention\" etc. -
Can anyone know of anyone who is ASD-ADHD and has found success with ADHD medication? Please recommend which meds are you using? Thanks!
