Autism affects how an individual thinks, learns, and experiences the world. Autism is the quickest growing serious development disability. This “is a disorder of neural development info processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect” (“Autism and Learning”). This disorder cannot be prevented. How this occurs in not well understood.
There are many different affects that an autistic child can have on the household. One example of how autism affects a child’s home life is that it is hard for autistic children to understand others’ feelings. While playing with siblings, it might be hard for an autistic child to understand why they might have hurt someone else’s feelings. Another example is some children with autism don’t like to cuddle or to be touched. This might be hard when the parents want to cuddle or hug their child. Still another way autism affects the household is that autistic children find sudden noises, smells, or light unpleasant. Some people “say that it might not be the actual noise, smell, or light itself, but more the surprise and not being able to get ready for it.” (“What is Autism?”) Lastly, autistic children often have different obsessions. A person with autism likes repetition. An autistic child clings routine and doesn’t like change. For autistic children, life can be very difficult at home, but a willing family can be there to help make it a little bit easier.

Similar to how autism affects a child’s home life, it also affects a child’s school life. Autism affects a student’s school life by affecting how they learn. How fast autistic children learn is pretty unpredictable. They might learn something quicker than others and not remember it later on. For example, “an autistic child might learn how to read long vocabulary words only to not recall them altogether later on.” (“What is Autism?”) They also might learn how to do something the hard way before they learn how to do it the easy way. Autistic children are easily distracted.

Jessica Cipperley March 12,2013 Autism has recently become a topic of heated discussion in both the medical and social fields. Since the diagnosis of autism has increased in the past decades, the question rises whether we are becoming more aware of the disorder, or if there are genetic or environmental influences that are to blame. There have been several studies conducted trying to answer that question, and I found a few while looking through PubMed. In the article, “A multivariate…
Introduction Autism is on the rise. Many researchers feel the reasons isn’t because there are more kids being afflicted with it, but the increased public awareness has allowed this disorder to be more easily recognized and diagnosed at a earlier age. The word “autism” was first used by a Swiss psychiatrist Eugene Bleuler in an article written in the American Journal of Insanity in 1912. It comes from the Greek word meaning self. Bleuler used it to describe the schizophrenic’s seeming difficulty…

What does this mean? My knowledge of Autism prior to researching this topic has been just based off of speculation I want…
Autism: Everything a Parent Needs to Know Heather N. Grech Individual Project Abstract The reason I chose to do my individual project on autism is because I have a special kind of love for children who need that extra attention. Not only because I have family members who are autistic, but in my past I have had jobs where I was able to be around children who were autistic. Specifically, when I worked at Bob Evans Family Restaurant, I had a family that would come in every week to see me. John and Mary…
