Positively Addressing Bedwetting And Autism 5 Tips You Can Try Today By : Rachel Evans Knowing how to effectively communicate with an autistic visual thinker is not the only challenge parents of autistic children face. Enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is another issue that may occur and needs to be dealt with in a patient and positive manner. Why do some autistic kids have trouble when it comes to toilet training? There are different reasons, some of which include: • Imitation difficulties • Hypnotic condition – A lack of muscle control and fail... Understanding Visual Thought And Autism By : Rachel Evans The best way to help an autistic child cope with change is to understand the way they think, so you can present ideas and situations to them in a way they will effectively comprehend. While the average person thinks in language, the average person with autism thinks in pictures. This thinking process is known as visual thought. Visual thought is when a person thinks in pictures, images or even movies, instead of actual words and concepts. Therefore, for most autistics... 5 Ways To Minimize The Negative Impact Of Change For Autism By : Rachel Evans Extreme change can be difficult for the average human being to deal with, but for a person with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), even the littlest change can be overwhelming. It is not uncommon for autistics to have trouble adjusting to a different schedule that breaks from a daily routine. Therefore, imagine the impact a dramatic change such as moving house would have on them. Autistics have a hard time regulating their behaviour, so when they finally become accustom to... How To Improve The Behavior Of A Child With Autism By : Andrew Smith All children are blessings. The same is the case with those who bear a neurological disorder called autism. As such, just like any blessing, they too should be treasured and cared for. It is our responsibility to make them feel better by guiding them towards a normal and happy life. As a neurological disorder, autism cannot be dealt with through psychiatric treatments, contrary to the former dominant beliefs of the early 20th century. However, there is still hope when it c... Overcoming Food Obsessions By : Rachel Evans The general public often doesn’t realize what parents of autistic children are keenly aware of: It is a physical condition as much as a mental one. Research shows that more than 50 percent of autistic children have gastrointestinal problems such as Crohns Disease or colitis. Some scientists theorize that autism begins in the gut, with the gastrointestinal walls being damaged and allowing toxins to leak into the bloodstream and affect brain activity. For this reason, parent... Autism: A Difficult Developmental Disability By : Ashish Jain The expression ‘developmental disability’ stands for the kind of impairment that interferes with a person’s ability to perform one or more vital functions of life. Since such disabilities are of extremely serious nature, they might adversely affect the affected person’s ability to earn an independent living. Autism is one of such disabilities. In an autistic child, the symptoms are quite visible right from the time when he or she is three years old. In most of the cases... Spare The Rod...? Disciplining Autistic Children Effectively By : Rachel Evans Choosing the method in which you decide to discipline your autistic child can be one of the most heart-wrenching and difficult decisions you can make. Since so many autistic children act out in a violent way, it is very difficult for many parents to not make the logical leap to spanking. While there is no consensus whatsoever on the proper way to discipline an autistic child, one important point comes up again and again when researching the different methods and that is makin... Autism Diagnosis By : Jonathan Mayheart Autism is a condition that can be treated, this is the prime reason why in suspected autism cases it is best that the diagnose be made earlier than later, it must be pointed out however that autistic behavior is not a frequent thing among health communities and families, so this should not be a major concern for parents. Nevertheless it is always recommended to use experts to establish some kind of diagnosis as regards to behavioral abnormalities. One of the many essential... Autism Anxiety Overload By : Rachel Evans The renowned autism expert Tony Atwood is fond of putting it this way: “Autism is anxiety looking for a target.” Autism and anxiety go hand-in-hand. Autism affects a person’s ability to communicate with others or to understand the world around him, and that’s bound to cause anxiety and panic sometimes. Anxiety becomes even worse when there is a change in the autistic child’s routine. Even positive and “fun” changes, like a school field trip or a visit to the zoo, can incre... How To Show Love To An Autistic Child By : Rachel Evans One of the most pervasive myths that surround autism is that a child who has it will never show affection and can’t accept getting affection from anyone. There have been literally piles of stories of parents taking their child to a psychologist and the doctor telling the parents that your child can’t possibly be autistic because he gives you a hug now and then. While this opinion is just flat wrong, studies have shown that autistic children do process sensory touch differentl... Autism: An Incurable Developmental Disability By : Ashish Jain Developmental disability is an expression employed to refer to serious life long impairment that substantially reduces one or more of one's life functions. Such disabilities might adversely affect one's ability to make an independent living, ability to learn or move or express. One of such disabilities is Autism. If a child is autistic the signs are visible within three years of his or her birth. How pronounced are the symptoms varies from case to case and so the affect of th... Tv Implicated In Autism Rise By : Dr. Beth Paxton In an interesting and unorthodox study, researchers have determined that television viewing might be one cause of the dramatic rise in autism cases in the United States. The study is unorthodox not only because it examines autism not from the usual standard of perhaps diet or genetics being a cause -- or even immunizations, which is frequently blamed for the rise in autism -- but from a standard of “nurture”. That is, the idea that something in a child’s environment that c... Educational Software For Autistic Children By : Rachel Evans With technology becoming more important and useful every day, a variety of education software aimed at children with autism is now available. Many general educational software titles can also be tailored for autistic children. Because sensory output from a computer can easily be adjusts (i.e., volume can be turned higher and lower, the screen can be brightened or darkened, etc.), autistic individuals usually find this type of technology easy to use when other techniques may f... Autism And Asperger's Syndrome By : Richard G M Taylor It is every parent’s nightmare for a child to be born with some form of disability. In the case of most physical disabilities this can be obvious or at least quickly diagnosed by a doctor. However, less obvious are disabilities or abnormalities associated with the child’s brain. Autism is such an abnormality and asperger's syndrome is a particular type of autism. Autism and asperger's syndrome in particular cannot usually be detected until the child has reached 18 months to 3... Autism Vs Sibling Rivalry By : Rachel Evans There’s always tension between siblings, but when one child has a mental or physical developmental disorder, this sibling rivalry can become even more pronounced. As a parent, dealing with disorders can be stressful enough without worrying about having to balance your time between two or more children. A number of things can be done to improve relationships between brothers and sisters when one or more child suffers from autism, but remember that children of all ages will qua... Sign Of Autism In Your Child By : Richard G M Taylor Children develop very quickly at an early age. All parents prey that their children will develop normally and grow up in good health with a bright future ahead of them. Autism is a concern of many parents so what is the sign of autism in your child? As parents we are on constant lookout for any sign of abnormal development such as autism in our children and of course it is so easy to jump to the wrong conclusions. A child will go through many phases and being able to spot ... Activities For Autistic Children By : Rachel Evans Please can you offer some activity-based suggestions and PE/games options for autistic children that they can do at home or at school. Looking at two age groups here 7 – 10 and 11-16. Parents, teachers, and other caregivers often get so caught up in educating and providing structure to the lives of autistic children that they forget that, above all, he or she is a child. Like any other child in his or her age group, your autistic child wants to have fun. While some activit... Stopping The Stimming? By : Rachel Evans Autistic children and adults do many things that typical children and adults cannot understand, and the one that is often most prominent is self-stimulation. Called “stimming” in the autism world, self-stimulation is repetitive behavior used solely to engage the senses. Examples include humming, clapping, hand flapping, manipulating objects (such as ripping paper), or running in circles. While these behaviors may seem inappropriate or unnecessary to others, those who suffer f... Dan! (defeat Autism Now) By : Rachel Evans In 1995, a group of thirty scientists and physicians were selected to try to get together and defeat autism. These forward thinking researchers were chosen due to their experience working with autism and hailed from the United States and Europe. Not satisfied with the available treatments for autism, this meeting of the minds was created to embark on a new pathway to understanding autism and finding different ways to treat it. Today the group still meets to share what they ha... Dealing With Autism In Public By : Rachel Evans Autism is a developmental disorder that affects roughly one out of 100 children. It is characterized by a lack of ability to function socially and in more severe cases, the process of communication. Discovering that your child has autism can be a traumatic experience. Oftentimes, parents may believe there is something developmentally wrong with their child, but accepting that autism is the culprit can be difficult to say the least. Accepting that your child is autistic and... Knowing The Symptoms Of Autism By : Melody Franks Autism is a very confusing disorder that tends to affect a persons attention, perception, and thought. There is no clear definition of the symptoms of autisms, because it manifests in different people in many different ways. The manifestation could be from mild symptoms all the way to severe symptoms and everywhere in between. Behavior patterns are most notable when it comes to autism. Generally speaking, those suffering from any autism disorder will have behavior that is inc... Autism And Diet - What Are The Effects? By : Rachel Evans Autism can be a particularly difficult condition to deal with as a parent. It involves making sacrifices, changing your lifestyle, and exploring a variety of methods that can help reduce the intense social anxiety that is linked to this condition. One of the least recognized ways to deal with autism is through the adoption of a specialized diet. There is so much ongoing research into autism from the scientific and behavioral standpoint that dietary factors are sometimes ov... Autism In Adults By : Rachel Evans Autism is a disorder that now affects one out of every 166 children born. It is a disorder that is permanent and negatively affects social development and thought processes. The transition into adulthood generally occurs at the age of fourteen, where preparation for adulthood starts. Now is a good time to consider job possibilities, if applicable, and what training will be needed to help an autistic child get ready for adulthood. There are generally two types of autistics:... Autism And Society By : Jonathan Mayheart Almost everyone knows something about Autism, heard the name or read something about its symptoms, but the true fact if the matter is that autism is not known and that it is kept only for the friends and families of those how are and have been affected by this condition. In the widest and most general description Autism is a mental condition, mainly effecting the ability to communicate and focus attention on what sometimes seems like an inability to show affection and feel...
