Autism

Introduction

Autism is considered to be neurobiological disorder. This document presents some of them, and describes the conduct of applied research and development, individual-difference, relationship based (DIR) model in more detail. Until that date, we cannot say with certainty which treatment is best for a child born with autism.

Autism is one of five disorders called Mobile violation Development (PDD). This is considered a neurobiological origin and its exact causes are not known. It usually manifests itself before the age of three, is destroying the social ties and skills, and can be presented in the form of repetitive behavior, interests and activities (Nash, 51).

Thesis Statement

Can autistic children attend public schools and are there special schools for autistic children?

Discussion

Many individuals with Autism usually appear physically normal but exhibit odd, repetitive such as rocking, flapping arms, banging objects or hitting themselves. One common obsessive behavior is to spend hours organizing toys or household objects in a certain way. If someone accidentally moves one of the objects, the person can become tremendously upset. These individuals need, and demand, absolute consistency in their environment. A slight change in any routine such as mealtimes, dressing, bathing, or driving routes, can be extremely disturbing. Some researchers believe that the need for order and sameness help individuals cope in a world of constant confusion and misunderstanding (Vincent & Van Hasselt, 398).

Friends, parents and caregivers must help individuals create a safe environment for themselves, particularly for those individuals whose behavior is not easily controlled. People with Autism need several environmental and safety modifications in their homes such as locks on doors and cabinets; alarms outside the bedroom; safeguarding windows, electrical outlets and appliances; and using signs, cards or photos to show appropriate usage of household items such as toothbrushes, hairbrushes, or soap.
