Dealing With Autism In Children

Autism is a disorder that affects everything about a child’s life. Children with autism cannot process everyday things such as communicating with others and relating to things in the outside world. Autism is a brain based neurological condition with abnormalities in communication, social development and behavior abnormalities. This also includes poor eye – contact, poor interaction, low acquisition of language or disordered acquisition of language, no socialization and inappropriate play. Often times children aren’t diagnosed with autism until after birth, children slowly start to develop autistic characteristics over time. They have a normal developmental landmark but slowly start to revert while aging. Because autism isn’t diagnosed usually until after a child has reached the age of school, children start school with the disorder, which causes a problem with their education until autism is diagnosed. Children dealing with undiagnosed autism may show signs such as lack of socialization, trouble with language, suffer increased sensitivity and emotional unstableness and display obsessive, violent or aggressive behavior. Dealing with undiagnosed autism has a severe effect on child’s education because the child is not learning the way he/she should be. There is no cure for autism, only ways to improve one’s development while dealing with autism. This article will discuss how autism has an effect on a child’s education and how children dealing with autism are helped to improve and what tools are used.
