What is autism? Autism is a disorder that is a very important responsibility. Autism isn't just a disorder it's a disability that is caused by how well the brain works. Autism isn't just anything to be happy about the cause; some people want to be autistic so they could get a lot of attention when they want it. People always want what everything someone else gets. You can’t just get autism when you want it. Autism is not your choice it’s the nature’s choice. Nature picks your choice on the day…

Asperger’s syndrome is a disease that is similar to autism in certain ways and can be considered an autism spectrum disorder. However, the main difference between asperger’s and full blown autism is that there is usually no cognitive or linguistic deficiency related to asperger’s; instead, patients may have severe difficulties in social interactions and all forms of non verbal communication. Often, this goes hand in hand with physical clumsiness and fixations with certain objects, patterns or…

Among the developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders are considered the most severe with 1 in every 68 children diagnosed each year according to statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Autism appears to have its roots in very early brain development, usually emerging within a child’s first three years of life and incorporates deficiencies of the afflicted one’s social skills, including being aware of people’s feelings, verbal and nonverbal…

According to research by Cihak and Foust (2008), touch points, or as we call them, math manipulatives are a more effective way of teaching students with autism problem solving skills for single digit addition than using the number line. Because students with autism and other severe disabilities have such difficulty learning basic arithmetic, educators need to be using the most effective teaching strategies for them. Because of this, these two researchers did a study to compare the use of number…

Don’t be afraid of dysbiosis among autism kids; we alleviate their hurdles. Dysbiosis: An imbalanced natural flora of the digestive tract is called dysbiosis. Natural flora is nothing but they are bacteria found in or on our bodies without causing diseases. The unhealthy bacteria have high potent of overgrowing that develops inflammation, decreased nutrition level absorption and impairs the development is the autism cases.

Introduction Social communication and challenging behaviour is a widespread problem in schools today. The child may lack the social skills needed to form friendships with their peers. This may lead to frustration and be displayed as challenging behaviour. However, in this study, the link between deficits in social communication and the triggers to the challenging behaviour with that of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are too strong to separate. Rational Deficits is social functioning is a…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children in their cognitive development (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Individuals with ASD may experience difficulties in academic environments and social situations. In particular, children with ASD may experience great dependence and comfort with routine and experience frustration when they are exposed to drastic changes (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

The prevalence of autism has increased dramatically over the past two decades (Figure 1.1.1). The world wide statistics showed that the incidence of autism is increasing in an alarming way. In the USA the prevalence of autism has increased from 4 cases per 10,000 people in 1989 to 67 cases per 10,000 people in 2000 (Ritvo et al., 1989; CDC, 2007). A more recent study from CDC showed that the disease affects 1 in 150 children in the USA (Cone, 2009). Here in Saudi Arabia, the only available…

The status of “theory of mind” deficit in autism spectrum disorder appears to have controversial perspectives and a common consensus seems to be complicated. Therefore, it is preferable to go through the different aspects of the theory of mind in relation to autism, in order to understand the difficulty about this status. Also relevant to explain but only in short words is the theory of mind and autism so as to follow the whole essay. So firstly, a theory of mind gives the possibility for…

Autism is a rapidly growing disorder that is defined as a developmental condition that affects behavior, social interaction, and communication. Problem The problem I would like to solve is social deficits that are often associated with Autism. This is such a huge problem because out of all the challenges that come with a diagnosis of autism, the social difficulties are among the most devastating. Statistics conducted in the United States showed that 1 in every 68 children live with Autism…
