Autism

World Autism day is 2 of April. What is Autism? How to identify it???

Still learning about autism. My friend has three boys and two of them are autistic, and both are on different ends of the spectrum.
Her 13 yr old is severly MR, and her 6yr old is more in the middle of it not severe but not mild either.
She is an inspiration to me that’s for sure.

The spectrum is so wide, they say “If you know one child with Autism, you know ONE child with autism.” I thought my son could not be on the spectrum because he loved hugs, and kisses. But turns out he was."

"If you know one child with Autism, you know ONE child with autism."

Love this quote - Our kids are individuals & should be treated that way.

Impairments in Communication and Social Interaction produce a range of behaviors that have become linked with autism spectrum disorders. Social interaction is an essential part of life for most people. For autistic people, being sociable is difficult, scary and very confusing. Some appear to withdraw and become isolated so it is important for parents to consider choosing an appropriate environment that will help children develop better social skills as well as study habits.

Teens may benefit from attending a therapeutic boarding schools.
