For autistic children, the most valuable teaching methods are manipulative games, sorting, categorizing and storytelling. Autistic children see themselves in the characters in stories, they have a habit of looking for similarities between themselves and the characters, so it is very important how we choose stories.

I work with students with autism. It is a challenge every day!

I tried to approach Arpi's situation very calmly, although sometimes he got angry with his colleagues and became violent! We listened to him when he told us his story, we listened to him when we taught the lesson and he started to complete it, we listened to him when no one in the class listened to him and we congratulated him for his knowledge! He was so happy when I told him he was 10!
I'm glad I had this theme because I was able to remember Arpi! My most valuable student! Maybe in another country, with specialized help, he would have been a good history teacher! But it was very difficult for him to make friends in class! Colleagues did not understand him and did not have patience with him! Maybe because he was a little violent at times and threw things at them!
We must be new examples for them and be patient, tolerant and accept the other as he is!
Strategies for students with autism:
-patience, empathy, resilience, tolerance
-visual learning: videos, movies, maps
-visual support to support the lesson
-colleague support
-a learning partner, a tolerant colleague
-communication through drawings, pictures
-familiar learning space
-help of an assistant
-do not change the routine
-does not introduce too much new information

The developmental symptoms of children with autism appear in the first years and begin to show more significant differences in the advancing early childhood period. The earlier a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is made, the more likely the education will be effective. That's why it's so important to know how to identify signs and symptoms.

I have been working with students with autism and indeed it is a constant challenge. We always have to be ready to learn! The biggest difficulty I feel has to do with the relational problems that most of the students feel. They suffer a lot because they have difficulties understanding others and being understood. And when they grow up and fall in love... it becomes more difficult for us to respond to their anxieties.

The sharing that has been done here is excellent! Thanks

I make my lesson materials on an online platform, and a post them on Google Classroom, and this really helped. He is interested in seeing the images, watching the films, playing the games, solving the puzzles I incorporate in the lessons. I talked to him trying to find a way to help him study (he does not have a severe form of autism) and he told me the games are a powerful help. In classes I let him work alone if he does not want to be part of a group and I explain to him again, personally, if it is necessary, the tasks if I see he does not work and is doing something else. Sometimes he does not work, and I do not insist, but I try to talk to him from time to time because I noticed a change in his attitude and interest in what is going on in the class if he feels I care.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a complicated, lifelong condition that includes problems with communication and behavior. It's a spectrum disorder, which means it affects people in different ways and in varying degrees. It usually appears by age 2 or 3.

People with autism have trouble with communication. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it hard for them to express themselves, either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.

People with autism may have problems with learning. Their skills might develop unevenly. For example, they could have trouble communicating but be unusually good at art, music, math, or things that involve memory. Because of this, they might do especially well on tests of analysis or problem-solving.

More children are diagnosed with autism now than ever before. But the latest numbers could be higher because of changes in how it's diagnosed, not because more children have the disorder.
"Low-functioning" vs. "high-functioning" autism

Every person with autism will be affected differently. Some people have a more challenging time with social, learning, or communication abilities. They may need help with everyday tasks and in some cases aren't able to live alone. Many people call this "low-functioning autism."

Other people may have autism with less obvious symptoms. They often do well and school and have fewer problems communicating. People usually call this "high-functioning autism."

But the terms "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" can be offensive. It's best to avoid them. To talk about how autism affects someone, you can instead use terms like "more significant" or "less significant."

Symptoms of autism usually appear before a child turns 3. Some people show signs from birth.

Common symptoms of autism include:

A lack of eye contact

A narrow range of interests or intense interest in certain topics

Doing something over and over, like repeating words or phrases, rocking back and forth, or fidgeting with objects (such as flipping a light switch)

High sensitivity to sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem ordinary to other people

Not looking at or listening to other people

Not looking at things when another person points at you

Not wanting to be held or cuddled

Problems understanding or using speech, gestures, facial expressions, or tone of voice

Talking in a sing-song, flat, or robotic voice

Trouble adapting to changes in routine

Some children with autism may also have seizures. These might not start until adolescence.
Autism symptoms in adults
In adults, autism may show up in specific ways. Common symptoms can include:

Trouble understanding what other people are thinking or feeling

Choosing to be on your own or having a hard time making friends

Anxiety about social activities

Keeping a daily routine and getting upset if it changes

Having a hard time expressing how you feel

Taking things literally or not understanding sarcasm

Coming off as blunt, uninterested, or rude to others without meaning to

Other signs of autism in adults could include:

Avoiding eye contact

Not understanding social queues or "rules"

Getting too close to others or getting upset if someone gets too close or touches you

Being very interested in specific things

Picking up on small details, smells, sounds, or patterns that other people don't

Wanting to plan things very carefully before doing them

Autism symptoms in children
Children may show different signs of autism. They may include:

Not responding to their name by 9 months old

Not showing facial expressions by 9 months old

Not wanting to play simple games (like pat-a-cake) by 12 months old

Doesn't use gestures (like waving hello) by 12 months old

Doesn't understand when other people are sad or mad by 24 month old

Doesn't notice or want to join other children to play by 36 months old

Doesn't sing, act, or dance for you by 60 months old

Lines up toys in a specific order and gets upset if the order is changed

Shows obsessive interests

Rocks their body, flaps their hands, or spins in circles

Delayed language, movement, learning, or cognitive skills

Odd sleeping or eating habits

Less or more fear toward things than would ordinarily be expected

Stimming
Stimming is a self-stimulating behavior, such as hand and arm flapping, rocking, spinning, twirling, jumping, head-banging, or other similar body movements. It can also include using an object over and over again, like flicking a rubber band, twirling a string, touching something with a certain texture, and more.

People with autism may stim for fun, to ease boredom, or to cope with stress or anxiety. It can also help them adjust the level of sensory input. For example, they may twirl a string so they can watch it or focus on one sound so they can tune out another loud or stressful noise.
Meltdowns
At times, a person with autism may become overwhelmed by a situation and be unable to find a way to respond. This can cause them to have a meltdown. They may cry, scream, or act out physically by kicking, punching, or biting. They may shut down completely and stop responding in any way. This isn't a tantrum: They're simply unable to deal with being overwhelmed or to explain their feelings.

These types were once thought to be separate conditions. Now, they fall under the range of autism spectrum disorders including:

Asperger's syndrome. Children with Asperger's syndrome tend to score in the average or above-average range on intelligence tests. But they may have challenges with social skills and show a narrow scope of interests.

Autistic disorder. This is what most people think of when they hear the word "autism." It affects social interactions, communication, and play in children younger than 3 years.

Childhood disintegrative disorder. Children with this disorder have typical development for at least 2 years and then lose some or most of their communication and social skills.

Pervasive developmental disorder (PDD or atypical autism). Your doctor might use this term if your child has some autistic behavior, like delays in social and communications skills, but doesn't fit into another category.

Exactly why autism happens isn't clear. It could stem from problems in parts of your brain that interpret sensory input and process language.

Autism is four times more common in boys than in girls. It can happen in people of any race, ethnicity, or social background. Family income, lifestyle, or educational level doesn't affect a child's risk of autism. But there are some risk factors:

A child with an older parent has a higher risk of autism.

Pregnant women who are exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, like alcohol or anti-seizure medications, are more likely to have autistic children. Other risk factors include maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Research has also linked autism to untreated phenylketonuria (also called PKU, a metabolic disorder caused by the absence of an enzyme) and rubella (German measles).

Is autism genetic?
Autism runs in families, so certain combinations of genes may increase a child's risk. Changes in more than 1,000 genes may be linked to autism. But not all of them are confirmed by experts. Genetic factors can affect someone's risk of autism anywhere from 40 to 80%.

Your overall risk depends on the combination of your genes, environment, your parents' age, and any birth complications.

A rare gene mutation or chromosome issue is likely to be the sole cause of about 2% to 4% of people with autism. This tends to happen in conditions that also affect other parts of the body, like with mutations in the ADNP gene. With ADNP syndrome, a person will show signs of autism as well as have specific facial features.

Many of the genes that are involved in autism are related to brain development. This may be why autism symptoms tend to involve issues with communication, cognitive functioning, or socialization.

Vaccines and autism
Vaccines don't cause autism. Even though some people have concerns that they do, studies have shown that there is no link between the two. Experts have reviewed the safety of eight vaccines for children and adults. They found that they're very safe, despite rare exceptions. Other studies have looked at the ingredients of different vaccines and found no link to autism. The health benefits of vaccines in preventing diseases far outweigh any potential risks.

It can be hard to get a definite diagnosis of autism. Your doctor will focus on behavior and development.

For children, diagnosis usually takes two steps.

A developmental screening will tell your doctor whether your child is on track with basic skills like learning, speaking, behavior, and moving. Experts suggest that children be screened for these developmental delays during their regular checkups at 9 months, 18 months, and 24 or 30 months of age. Children are routinely checked specifically for autism at their 18-month and 24-month checkups.

If your child shows signs of a problem on these screenings, they'll need a more complete evaluation. This might include hearing and vision tests or genetic tests. Your doctor might want to bring in someone who specializes in autism disorders, like a developmental pediatrician or a child psychologist. Some psychologists can also give a test called the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).

If you weren't diagnosed with autism as a child but notice yourself showing symptoms, talk to your doctor.
If you've just gotten a diagnosis
If you just got an autism diagnosis, there are a few steps you can take to feel your best:

Take the time you need to understand the diagnosis. You might feel a ranged of emotions. Know that you can reach out to your doctor for help. You can continue a normal life even after a diagnosis.

Do your research. You can read up on articles (such as this one) about autism. There's a lot of information out there, but a few good sources are all you need to start learning about your diagnosis.

Listen to others with autism. There are many blogs, books, or videos that you can use to understand the condition. People with autism can also share their stories to help you learn more about it.

Get the help you need. If you feel alone after you or your child got an autism diagnosis, look for support. National advocacy groups, support groups, your doctor, people on social media with autism, or your school, job, or college can help you navigate a diagnosis.

Keep an eye out for other health issues. While autism isn't an illness, many people with autism might also have other conditions, including ADHD, dyslexia, and others. If you have questions about you or your child's health, see your doctor and explain your concerns.

If you have autism, you'll have it your entire life. But early treatment can make a big difference in development for a child with autism. If you think your child shows symptoms of ASD, tell your doctor as soon as possible.
Autism treatments
What works for one person might not work for another. Your doctor should tailor treatment for you or your child. The main types of treatments are:

Behavioral: Helps a person understand the causes and results of behaviors so they can change unwanted behaviors.

Developmental: Speech therapy improves communication skills, physical therapy improves motor ability, occupational therapy works on life skills like dressing and eating.

Psychological: Treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people deal with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues In addition to autism.

Educational: Adapts learning processes to the needs of people with autism.

Social-relational: Focuses on bettering social skills and building emotional bonds.

Medications: Work to ease symptoms of ASD, like attention problems, hyperactivity, or anxiety.

Complementary treatments may help boost learning and communication skills in some people with autism. Complementary therapies include music, art, or animal-assisted therapy, such as horseback riding.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a type of treatment that aims to promote positive behavior and discourage negative or harmful behavior. Some experts believe that ABA is a form of behavior control. They say that it forces people to conform to a rigid definition of "normal" and stifles behavior that's part of having autism. Advocates say that ABA has evolved from this approach. They claim that it's the best way for a person with autism to adapt in a way that lets them live in society more easily.
Fake autism treatments
There are certain treatments that are sold or advertised to treat autism but don't actually work. Some of these fake treatments can even be dangerous. Don't try any of the following for autism:

Raw camel's milk

GcMAF, which is an unlicensed injection made from blood cells

CEASE, which tells people to avoid vaccinations and suggests people take nutritional supplements that could be dangerous

Chlorine dioxide (CD) or Mineral Miracle Solution (MMS)

Some vitamins, minerals, and supplements

Secretin, a hormone found in your body

Chelation, which takes out heavy metal toxins in your blood

To spot a fake treatment, look for these warning signs:

Claims that it's a "cure," "miracle," or that you can "recover from" autism.

It's not available on major, reputable health sites.

It costs a lot of money.

It claims to work in many people "instantly."

Personal stories that it's worked instead of medical data.

States that anyone can do it, even without medical training.

It claims to cure lots of conditions.

Some groups of people are affected differently by autism.
Autism in women
Autism can sometimes be different for women compared to men. Compared to men, autistic cisgender women might:

Hide their feelings

Be quieter

Copy people who don't have autism or hide their autism signs in order to "fit in"

Seem to deal better with social situations

Show fewer signs of repetitive behaviors

Your doctor may not have as much knowledge about diagnosing girls or women with autism. Since many symptoms are focused on male stereotypes of autism, this can make it harder to tell if a female has autism. Because of this, girls and women with autism may be misdiagnosed or missed entirely. As experts become more aware of this, the estimates of how many men have autism compared to women has gotten smaller.
Autism and Racial and Ethnic Differences
More white children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder compared to Black or Hispanic children. Some of the reasons that these groups may not be getting diagnosis or care include:

Stigma about the disorder

Less access to medical resources because of non-citizenship or income

Not speaking English as a primary language

LGBTQIA+ and Autism
Research shows that people with autism are more likely to identify as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community than people who don't have it. People in this group who also have autism are more likely to face discrimination, issues with getting medical care, violence, and cultural stigmas. This can create greater mental health complications for LGBTQIA+ individuals who are autistic and already at a higher risk for these complications.

Talk to your doctor before trying something different, like a special diet. There's no hard evidence that special diets help children with ASD. Autism is a complex brain disorder.

Some children with autism might appear to be picky eaters. They may only eat foods of a certain color or texture, not eat enough or eat too much, or eat things that aren't food. They can have constipation, which makes them feel full even if they're not, or have issues with coughing or choking while they eat.

While it may seem that cutting out certain foods could relieve your child's symptoms, it might actually cause more harm.

For example, children with autism often have thinner bones. Dairy products have nutrients that can make their bones stronger. Studies on a protein in milk products called casein have found that many children performed the same whether or not they ate foods with this protein. Their autism symptoms didn't change in any remarkable way.

Some evidence shows that people with autism may have low levels of certain vitamins and minerals. This does not cause autism spectrum disorder. But your doctor may suggest s upplements to improve nutrition. Vitamin B and magnesium are two of the supplements most often used for people with autism. But people can overdose on these vitamins, so megavitamins should be avoided.

However, some diet changes may help with certain symptoms of autism. Food allergies, for example, may make behavior problems worse. Removing the allergen from your child's diet may make some behavior issues better.

The important thing is that your child's diet needs to support their specific nutritional needs and ASD symptoms. The best way to settle on the most useful diet is to work with your doctor and a nutrition specialist like a registered dietitian. They'll help you design a meal plan tailored for your child.

Some children with autism have digestive problems like constipation, belly pain, or nausea and vomiting. Your doctor can suggest a diet that won't make these issues worse.

And remember, nutritional needs change over time. Your child's dietitian will help you make sure the foods they eat are still meeting their needs as they get older.

Communication
You can help your child communicate better with autism by:

Using their name so they know you're speaking to them

Speaking slowly and clearly

Keeping language clear and simple

Give them extra time to understand what you've just said

Use simple gestures, pictures, or eye contact to help them understand what you're saying

Avoid:

Having a conversation in a noisy or crowded area

Saying things that have more than one meaning like "break a leg"

Asking your child a lot of questions

Trouble sleeping
Many kids with autism have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. You can help them by:

Keeping a sleep diary to look for common issues

Following the same bedtime routine each night

Letting them use ear plugs to sleep, if they help

Keeping their bedroom dark and quiet

Talking to a doctor about issues that might affect their sleep

Socializing

To help your child make friends and socialize:

Ask your child's school if they can help.

Ask your autism care team if they can give tips.

Look into the National Autism Society directory for local social groups that can help those with autism.

Ask for or read information from other parents of children who have autism.

Make sure you don't:

Force your kid into social settings if they want to be on their own instead.

Put pressure on your child. Give them time to learn social skills.

Understanding the Three Levels of Autism

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are three levels of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which are described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition ( DSM-5). These levels replicate functioning labels (low vs. high functioning) as they do not account for people who exhibit traits associated with multiple levels daily nor for people who fluctuate between levels day-by-day.

However, these levels are important to be aware of because of they are legitimate to the medical community and subsequently impact the lives of autistic people. The three levels can be used as a springboard to better understand that autistic people have a variety of presentations.

Each person with an ASD diagnosis is further labeled with either ASD level 1, level 2, or level 3, depending on how incompatible their autistic traits are with neurotypical expectations and how much support they need in their daily life. The levels range from least to most incompatible.

This article discusses the traits that are typical of each of the three ASD levels. It also includes realistic examples of the experiences that are associated with each level.

The DSM's Three Levels of Autism

Autism spectrum disorder affects how a person acts, experiences the world, and expresses themselves. While autistic people have similarities, each individual is different and so is their presentation of being autistic.

The three levels of ASD help medical providers prescribe appropriate therapies based on a person's unique needs. These therapies can help the person with ASD make the most of their strengths and improve their social, language, and occupational skills.

It is important to keep in mind that actual autistic people's traits and experiences are not as clearcut as these levels present. Many autistic people have a wide mix of traits associated with multiple levels, so these classifications are not helpful outside of medical contexts. Labelling an autistic person as one level socially and seeing them solely through the lens of the DSM can lead to neglect, hindered potential, and harmful misunderstandings.

The previous version of the DSM, the DSM-4, divided autism into five distinct diagnoses ranging from Asperger's syndrome (no longer used due to it originating from a Nazi scientist for use in the field of eugenics) to autistic disorder, which indicated "severe autism." The DSM-5 combines all of these into the single diagnosis of ASD, but with three different levels.

Both of these categorizations describe autistic people via a medical and neurotypical lens, and differ from autistic people's descriptions of themselves and their experiences of neurodivergence.

Level 1: Requires Support

Level 1 ASD describes people who do not need a lot of support. People with level 1 ASD may have a hard time communicating with neurotypical people, including their peers. For example, they may not say the right thing at the right time or be able to read social cues and body language.

A person labeled with ASD level 1 is usually able to communicate in full sentences most of the time, but may have trouble engaging in extended, back-and-forth communication with neurotypical people. They are likely to have social anxiety and may experience burnout from long term masking, or acting neurotypical.

They may also have trouble moving from one activity to another or trying new things. Additionally, they may have problems with organization and planning, and independence for them may differ from neurotypical expectations for people their age.

Level 2: Requires Substantial Support

People diagnosed with ASD level 2 have a harder time masking than those diagnosed with level 1 and may find it hard to communicate or socialize in ways that are accepted or understood by neurotypical society. Likewise, they will find it harder to change focus or shift from one activity to the next.

The DSM's level 2 expression of autism includes people who have very specific interests and who engage in repetitive behaviors that veer far from accepted, neurotypical behaviors or that appear in spaces neurotypical people view as incongruous.

For example, an autistic child or adult may pace back and forth during a class or meeting, or say the same thing over and over again. These behaviors are types of stimming, self-stimulation, that autistic people use to regulate themselves internally. Neurotypical people stim as well by humming, tapping their feet or fingers, dancing, etc.

One reason autistic people stim more is because most of our society was not built with neurodivergent people in mind. Hence, the regulation that is typically covered by societal infrastructure for neurotypical people has to be handled by autistic individuals and their loved ones. Autistic people who express level 2 and 3 traits have a larger burden of self-regulation.

Level 3: Requires Very Substantial Support

People with level 3 diagnoses need the most support and are subsequently at very high risk for neglect, abuse, and discrimination. People in this category will have many of the same traits as those with levels 1 and 2 diagnoses, but are entirely unable to mask and have very high burdens of self-regulation.

Problems expressing themselves accurately both verbally and with body language or facial expressions can make it very hard to complete daily living tasks, interact socially, and deal with a change in focus or location. Some of these difficulties can be assuaged with early access to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, as communication is a human right everyone should have access to even if they do not speak. Engaging in repetitive behaviors is another trait of level 3 ASD.

A person with an ASD level 3 diagnosis is more likely to have communication differences and may rarely initiate interactions, especially with neurotypical people. When they do, they are likely to be perceived as awkward. They may be more comfortable with or prefer parallel play instead of interactive hangouts, or might prefer to interact with other based upon scripts.

Limitations of ASD Levels

Although the DSM's ASD levels are useful for figuring out a person's support needs, the categories don't give a full picture of the capacities, strengths, and needs of each individual autistic person.

The three levels do not entirely encompass the traits and lived experiences of all autistic people nor does the DSM's description of an autistic person diagnosed as level 1 paint an accurate picture of who that person is. The DSM-5 offers little specificity regarding the types of support that individuals need or situations when support is needed.

For example, some autistic people need accommodations at school but are fine at home, while others may do well at school but struggle in social situations.

What's more, the level a person is assigned when they're first diagnosed can shift as they develop and refine their social skills, and as anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and other issues common among autistic people change or grow more severe.

Assigning people to one of the three levels of autism can be useful for understanding what types of services and supports would serve them best.

It won't, however, predict or account for unique details in their personality and behavior, which means the support and services they receive will need to be highly individualized.

The DSM-5 is an important manual used by doctors to diagnose people with autism spectrum disorder. It describes three levels of ASD, which range in traits and in how much support the autistic person needs in daily life.

The three ASD levels give a basic outline of the ways autistic people may communicate, socialize, and behave. This way of diagnosing autistic people does not, however, fully address the diverse array of lived experiences autistic people have.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different levels of autism?

An autism spectrum disorder diagnosis is broken into levels 1, 2, and 3. These levels indicate the extent to which autism impacts an individual's ability to communicate and take care of themselves as deemed appropriate by neurotypical society. The levels describe traits and detail how much support a person might need.

Do children with level 1 autism need a classroom aide?

Possibly, though each autistic person is different.

Some people diagnosed with level 1 autism may have difficulty in a mainstream classroom due to sensory challenges and are more comfortable in a smaller class setting. Others may be comfortable in a general education classroom without an aide, while some may need a one-on-one or shared aide to help keep them on track.

It's difficult to find resources for each subject in our language.Teachers haven't received professional training on this topic.It depends on each teacher to find resources, to try to adapt the materials we teach for every student having a disability.
I propose to have in all schools a SEN teacher  who could stay in the school every day and to have a pedagogical counselor, a nurse , a psychologist.The majority of special schools where closed, we have to integrate students with SEN but how? I can see teachers are struggling to help them but without having a necessary budget from the school.They do so voluntary , using their own resources.I have a SEN student in one of my classes and I find it difficult to work with.It would be easier to have a teacher assistant or a SEN teacher permanently in our classes.
For such types of students it's also important to have a friendly environment in the classroom, to have a special corner where the student can feel relaxed and calm.

Autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a complicated, lifelong condition that includes problems with communication and behavior. It's a spectrum disorder, which means it affects people in different ways and in varying degrees. It usually appears by age 2 or 3.

People with autism have trouble with communication. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it hard for them to express themselves, either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.

People with autism may have problems with learning. Their skills might develop unevenly. For example, they could have trouble communicating but be unusually good at art, music, math, or things that involve memory. Because of this, they might do especially well on tests of analysis or problem-solving.

More children are diagnosed with autism now than ever before. But the latest numbers could be higher because of changes in how it's diagnosed, not because more children have the disorder.
"Low-functioning" vs. "high-functioning" autism

Every person with autism will be affected differently. Some people have a more challenging time with social, learning, or communication abilities. They may need help with everyday tasks and in some cases aren't able to live alone. Many people call this "low-functioning autism."

Other people may have autism with less obvious symptoms. They often do well and school and have fewer problems communicating. People usually call this "high-functioning autism."

But the terms "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" can be offensive. It's best to avoid them. To talk about how autism affects someone, you can instead use terms like "more significant" or "less significant."

Symptoms of autism usually appear before a child turns 3. Some people show signs from birth.

Common symptoms of autism include:

A lack of eye contact

A narrow range of interests or intense interest in certain topics

Doing something over and over, like repeating words or phrases, rocking back and forth, or fidgeting with objects (such as flipping a light switch)

High sensitivity to sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem ordinary to other people

Not looking at or listening to other people

Not looking at things when another person points at you

Not wanting to be held or cuddled

Problems understanding or using speech, gestures, facial expressions, or tone of voice

Talking in a sing-song, flat, or robotic voice

Trouble adapting to changes in routine

Some children with autism may also have seizures. These might not start until adolescence.
Autism symptoms in adults
In adults, autism may show up in specific ways. Common symptoms can include:

Trouble understanding what other people are thinking or feeling

Choosing to be on your own or having a hard time making friends

Anxiety about social activities

Keeping a daily routine and getting upset if it changes

Having a hard time expressing how you feel

Taking things literally or not understanding sarcasm

Coming off as blunt, uninterested, or rude to others without meaning to

Other signs of autism in adults could include:

Avoiding eye contact

Not understanding social queues or "rules"

Getting too close to others or getting upset if someone gets too close or touches you

Being very interested in specific things

Picking up on small details, smells, sounds, or patterns that other people don't

Wanting to plan things very carefully before doing them

Autism symptoms in children
Children may show different signs of autism. They may include:

Not responding to their name by 9 months old

Not showing facial expressions by 9 months old

Not wanting to play simple games (like pat-a-cake) by 12 months old

Doesn't use gestures (like waving hello) by 12 months old

Doesn't understand when other people are sad or mad by 24 month old

Doesn't notice or want to join other children to play by 36 months old

Doesn't sing, act, or dance for you by 60 months old

Lines up toys in a specific order and gets upset if the order is changed

Shows obsessive interests

Rocks their body, flaps their hands, or spins in circles

Delayed language, movement, learning, or cognitive skills

Odd sleeping or eating habits

Less or more fear toward things than would ordinarily be expected

Stimming
Stimming is a self-stimulating behavior, such as hand and arm flapping, rocking, spinning, twirling, jumping, head-banging, or other similar body movements. It can also include using an object over and over again, like flicking a rubber band, twirling a string, touching something with a certain texture, and more.

People with autism may stim for fun, to ease boredom, or to cope with stress or anxiety. It can also help them adjust the level of sensory input. For example, they may twirl a string so they can watch it or focus on one sound so they can tune out another loud or stressful noise.
Meltdowns
At times, a person with autism may become overwhelmed by a situation and be unable to find a way to respond. This can cause them to have a meltdown. They may cry, scream, or act out physically by kicking, punching, or biting. They may shut down completely and stop responding in any way. This isn't a tantrum: They're simply unable to deal with being overwhelmed or to explain their feelings.

These types were once thought to be separate conditions. Now, they fall under the range of autism spectrum disorders including:

Asperger's syndrome. Children with Asperger's syndrome tend to score in the average or above-average range on intelligence tests. But they may have challenges with social skills and show a narrow scope of interests.

Autistic disorder. This is what most people think of when they hear the word "autism." It affects social interactions, communication, and play in children younger than 3 years.

Childhood disintegrative disorder. Children with this disorder have typical development for at least 2 years and then lose some or most of their communication and social skills.

Pervasive developmental disorder (PDD or atypical autism). Your doctor might use this term if your child has some autistic behavior, like delays in social and communications skills, but doesn't fit into another category.

Exactly why autism happens isn't clear. It could stem from problems in parts of your brain that interpret sensory input and process language.

Autism is four times more common in boys than in girls. It can happen in people of any race, ethnicity, or social background. Family income, lifestyle, or educational level doesn't affect a child's risk of autism. But there are some risk factors:

A child with an older parent has a higher risk of autism.

Pregnant women who are exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, like alcohol or anti-seizure medications, are more likely to have autistic children. Other risk factors include maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Research has also linked autism to untreated phenylketonuria (also called PKU, a metabolic disorder caused by the absence of an enzyme) and rubella (German measles).

Is autism genetic?
Autism runs in families, so certain combinations of genes may increase a child's risk. Changes in more than 1,000 genes may be linked to autism. But not all of them are confirmed by experts. Genetic factors can affect someone's risk of autism anywhere from 40 to 80%.

Your overall risk depends on the combination of your genes, environment, your parents' age, and any birth complications.

A rare gene mutation or chromosome issue is likely to be the sole cause of about 2% to 4% of people with autism. This tends to happen in conditions that also affect other parts of the body, like with mutations in the ADNP gene. With ADNP syndrome, a person will show signs of autism as well as have specific facial features.

Many of the genes that are involved in autism are related to brain development. This may be why autism symptoms tend to involve issues with communication, cognitive functioning, or socialization.

Vaccines and autism
Vaccines don't cause autism. Even though some people have concerns that they do, studies have shown that there is no link between the two. Experts have reviewed the safety of eight vaccines for children and adults. They found that they're very safe, despite rare exceptions. Other studies have looked at the ingredients of different vaccines and found no link to autism. The health benefits of vaccines in preventing diseases far outweigh any potential risks.

It can be hard to get a definite diagnosis of autism. Your doctor will focus on behavior and development.

For children, diagnosis usually takes two steps.

A developmental screening will tell your doctor whether your child is on track with basic skills like learning, speaking, behavior, and moving. Experts suggest that children be screened for these developmental delays during their regular checkups at 9 months, 18 months, and 24 or 30 months of age. Children are routinely checked specifically for autism at their 18-month and 24-month checkups.

If your child shows signs of a problem on these screenings, they'll need a more complete evaluation. This might include hearing and vision tests or genetic tests. Your doctor might want to bring in someone who specializes in autism disorders, like a developmental pediatrician or a child psychologist. Some psychologists can also give a test called the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).

If you weren't diagnosed with autism as a child but notice yourself showing symptoms, talk to your doctor.
If you've just gotten a diagnosis
If you just got an autism diagnosis, there are a few steps you can take to feel your best:

Take the time you need to understand the diagnosis. You might feel a ranged of emotions. Know that you can reach out to your doctor for help. You can continue a normal life even after a diagnosis.

Do your research. You can read up on articles (such as this one) about autism. There's a lot of information out there, but a few good sources are all you need to start learning about your diagnosis.

Listen to others with autism. There are many blogs, books, or videos that you can use to understand the condition. People with autism can also share their stories to help you learn more about it.

Get the help you need. If you feel alone after you or your child got an autism diagnosis, look for support. National advocacy groups, support groups, your doctor, people on social media with autism, or your school, job, or college can help you navigate a diagnosis.

Keep an eye out for other health issues. While autism isn't an illness, many people with autism might also have other conditions, including ADHD, dyslexia, and others. If you have questions about you or your child's health, see your doctor and explain your concerns.

If you have autism, you'll have it your entire life. But early treatment can make a big difference in development for a child with autism. If you think your child shows symptoms of ASD, tell your doctor as soon as possible.
Autism treatments
What works for one person might not work for another. Your doctor should tailor treatment for you or your child. The main types of treatments are:

Behavioral: Helps a person understand the causes and results of behaviors so they can change unwanted behaviors.

Developmental: Speech therapy improves communication skills, physical therapy improves motor ability, occupational therapy works on life skills like dressing and eating.

Psychological: Treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people deal with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues In addition to autism.

Educational: Adapts learning processes to the needs of people with autism.

Social-relational: Focuses on bettering social skills and building emotional bonds.

Medications: Work to ease symptoms of ASD, like attention problems, hyperactivity, or anxiety.

Complementary treatments may help boost learning and communication skills in some people with autism. Complementary therapies include music, art, or animal-assisted therapy, such as horseback riding.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a type of treatment that aims to promote positive behavior and discourage negative or harmful behavior. Some experts believe that ABA is a form of behavior control. They say that it forces people to conform to a rigid definition of "normal" and stifles behavior that's part of having autism. Advocates say that ABA has evolved from this approach. They claim that it's the best way for a person with autism to adapt in a way that lets them live in society more easily.
Fake autism treatments
There are certain treatments that are sold or advertised to treat autism but don't actually work. Some of these fake treatments can even be dangerous. Don't try any of the following for autism:

Raw camel's milk

GcMAF, which is an unlicensed injection made from blood cells

CEASE, which tells people to avoid vaccinations and suggests people take nutritional supplements that could be dangerous

Chlorine dioxide (CD) or Mineral Miracle Solution (MMS)

Some vitamins, minerals, and supplements

Secretin, a hormone found in your body

Chelation, which takes out heavy metal toxins in your blood

To spot a fake treatment, look for these warning signs:

Claims that it's a "cure," "miracle," or that you can "recover from" autism.

It's not available on major, reputable health sites.

It costs a lot of money.

It claims to work in many people "instantly."

Personal stories that it's worked instead of medical data.

States that anyone can do it, even without medical training.

It claims to cure lots of conditions.

Some groups of people are affected differently by autism.
Autism in women
Autism can sometimes be different for women compared to men. Compared to men, autistic cisgender women might:

Hide their feelings

Be quieter

Copy people who don't have autism or hide their autism signs in order to "fit in"

Seem to deal better with social situations

Show fewer signs of repetitive behaviors

Your doctor may not have as much knowledge about diagnosing girls or women with autism. Since many symptoms are focused on male stereotypes of autism, this can make it harder to tell if a female has autism. Because of this, girls and women with autism may be misdiagnosed or missed entirely. As experts become more aware of this, the estimates of how many men have autism compared to women has gotten smaller.
Autism and Racial and Ethnic Differences
More white children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder compared to Black or Hispanic children. Some of the reasons that these groups may not be getting diagnosis or care include:

Stigma about the disorder

Less access to medical resources because of non-citizenship or income

Not speaking English as a primary language

LGBTQIA+ and Autism
Research shows that people with autism are more likely to identify as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community than people who don't have it. People in this group who also have autism are more likely to face discrimination, issues with getting medical care, violence, and cultural stigmas. This can create greater mental health complications for LGBTQIA+ individuals who are autistic and already at a higher risk for these complications.

Talk to your doctor before trying something different, like a special diet. There's no hard evidence that special diets help children with ASD. Autism is a complex brain disorder.

Some children with autism might appear to be picky eaters. They may only eat foods of a certain color or texture, not eat enough or eat too much, or eat things that aren't food. They can have constipation, which makes them feel full even if they're not, or have issues with coughing or choking while they eat.

While it may seem that cutting out certain foods could relieve your child's symptoms, it might actually cause more harm.

For example, children with autism often have thinner bones. Dairy products have nutrients that can make their bones stronger. Studies on a protein in milk products called casein have found that many children performed the same whether or not they ate foods with this protein. Their autism symptoms didn't change in any remarkable way.

Some evidence shows that people with autism may have low levels of certain vitamins and minerals. This does not cause autism spectrum disorder. But your doctor may suggest s upplements to improve nutrition. Vitamin B and magnesium are two of the supplements most often used for people with autism. But people can overdose on these vitamins, so megavitamins should be avoided.

However, some diet changes may help with certain symptoms of autism. Food allergies, for example, may make behavior problems worse. Removing the allergen from your child's diet may make some behavior issues better.

The important thing is that your child's diet needs to support their specific nutritional needs and ASD symptoms. The best way to settle on the most useful diet is to work with your doctor and a nutrition specialist like a registered dietitian. They'll help you design a meal plan tailored for your child.

Some children with autism have digestive problems like constipation, belly pain, or nausea and vomiting. Your doctor can suggest a diet that won't make these issues worse.

And remember, nutritional needs change over time. Your child's dietitian will help you make sure the foods they eat are still meeting their needs as they get older.

Communication
You can help your child communicate better with autism by:

Using their name so they know you're speaking to them

Speaking slowly and clearly

Keeping language clear and simple

Give them extra time to understand what you've just said

Use simple gestures, pictures, or eye contact to help them understand what you're saying

Avoid:

Having a conversation in a noisy or crowded area

Saying things that have more than one meaning like "break a leg"

Asking your child a lot of questions

Trouble sleeping
Many kids with autism have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. You can help them by:

Keeping a sleep diary to look for common issues

Following the same bedtime routine each night

Letting them use ear plugs to sleep, if they help

Keeping their bedroom dark and quiet

Talking to a doctor about issues that might affect their sleep

Socializing

To help your child make friends and socialize:

Ask your child's school if they can help.

Ask your autism care team if they can give tips.

Look into the National Autism Society directory for local social groups that can help those with autism.

Ask for or read information from other parents of children who have autism.

Make sure you don't:

Force your kid into social settings if they want to be on their own instead.

Put pressure on your child. Give them time to learn social skills.

At the third year of learning she was able to endure the eye contact and she was able to start conversation on her on. We were so happy. She has finished her education as a cook and she has a job and can take care of her self. Other student had high IQ and social issues, he was able to learn on his own and we worked on his social skills, unfortunately he became an computer addict and that also affect his social skills.

hi.

I have worked with children with autism for many years. And I had the opportunity to receive trainings on this subject. Education is very important. However, I can say that the nutritional system is very effective on autism. Increase in eye contact time, decrease in obsessions, etc. The first book I read is DAN Protocol. It explains the nutrition relationship very well and simply. I suggest you examine the autism nutrition relationship.

Our school is a kindregarten so we include arts activities, music and play according to the needs of children as well as other academic subjects. We inform other children and families about the needs of those special children. So,
other children build emphaty towards their friends. This establishes a comfortable and inclusive environment for the children with autism.

How does remote therapy help "autistic children"?
Of the increasing spread of autism around the world, governments are encouraged to raise awareness about it. ,. But this year, the Covid-19 epidemic has surpassed the efforts made by local and international organizations in this regard, due to the priority given to the Corona epidemic.
But there is a community of specialists who have paid attention primarily to children and young people with developmental disorders and autism, by reaching the specialists at their center through remote therapy via webcam.
Among these initiatives is the "Hayati Health Care" accredited in the UAE, to ensure that psychological treatment of patients with autism should not be delayed and whose access to treatment will be limited by the closure protocols.
But it is up to the communities to help each other adapt together. That's why I hope our patients see our efforts and embrace this new platform for treatment so that we can continue our successes, ”said Dr Andrea Tosatto, director of the center. .
The center also caters to parents' mental health needs. The psychiatrist will also be available online to meet the needs of anyone suffering from psychological distress, and he is currently providing free psychological counseling sessions for residents of the UAE.
Services offered include therapy and counseling, a wide variety of emotional disorders, and coping problems, and more. Individual counseling, family therapy and online counseling.

It is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior patterns. Diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent before the child reaches three years of age. Autism affects the process of processing data in the brain by changing how neurons are connected and organized and their synapses. And he didn't understand very well how this was happening. Autism is one of three disorders that fall under the autism spectrum disease (ASDs), and the second and third disorders together are Asperger's syndrome, which lacks delays in cognitive and language development, and what is known as pervasive developmental disorder and is diagnosed in the absence of criteria for determining autism or Asperger's syndrome.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder characterized by behavioral and communicational affections that impact a person’s ability to navigate social interactions and also causes repetitive and restricted behavior.

The first historical appearance of the word “Autism” was made in 1911 by the psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler, who used the term to describe a specific cluster of symptoms that were considered simple symptoms of schizophrenia as an extreme social withdrawal.

In that order, it was in 1943, when pediatric psychiatrist Dr. Leo Kanner characterized Autism as a social and emotional disorder in his article “Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact”, and in 1944 Hans Asperger published his “Autism Psychopathology Article” where he described autism as a disorder of normal intelligence children who have difficulties with social and communication skills. These articles were an important contribution to the studies that helped to classified Autism as a disorder separate from schizophrenia in 1980.

With the continuous investigation and research on autism, World Autism Awareness Day was set to April 2 of each year by the “United Nations General Assembly” on “Resolution 62/139” and adopted on December 18 of 2007, to encourage member states to take action in raising awareness about people with autism spectrum disorder and support the research finding new ways to improve wellness and inclusion.

Finally, the notion of autism as a spectrum was developed in 2013 by the “American Psychiatric Association” in the fifth edition of the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” by combining all subcategories of autism and related conditions into one unified category, including varied characteristics, severity, and presentation of the symptoms.

TRADITIONS OF THE DAY

World Autism Awareness Day celebrates the resilience of those affected by the disorder and support causes that promote awareness of it. Children in schools are educated about autism and encouraged to be accepting of it. As autistic children are subjected to bullying, it is very important for their peers to be tolerant and inclusive of them. The signs of autism are at times not so prevalent, which is why adults (especially parents) are also educated on this matter. Local businesses and shopping centers are also big on autism awareness, and a portion of their sales go towards autism causes and organizations.

BY THE NUMBERS

1 in 59 – the number of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in 2018.

1 in 37 – the number of boys with ASD.

1 in 151 – the number of girls with ASD.

4 – the age after which most children are diagnosed with ASD.

31% – the percentage of children with an intellectual disability due to ASD.

2-18% – the percentage of chances of parents having a second child with ASD after the first one.

36-95% – the percentage of chances that if one child has autism in a pair of twins, the other will be affected as well.

½ – of the total number of children with autism typically wander or ‘bolt’ from a safe setting if something catches their interest.

28% – the percentage of children with ASD who have self-harm behavior.

⅔ – of the total number of children with autism face severe bullying.

To celebrate and recognize those among us on the autism spectrum and to pray for a renewed sense of hope and joy in their lives and in the lives of their families, VITALity hosted a very special Mass on Sunday April 23, 2017. Autism spectrum disorder is an umbrella term for a group of developmental disorders that can involve varying degrees of language and social impairments, and repetitive behaviors.

The Mass was held at Holy Saviour Church (St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish) in Westmont. Words of welcome were offered by Sr. Bonnie McMenamin as she addressed the families gathered for the Mass. Celebrating the Mass was Fr. Hugh Bradley Co-Director of the Ministry with the Deaf and Persons with Disabilities, assisted by Deacon Jerry Jablonowski, Executive Director of VITALity. The lectors, cantor, sign language interpreter, gift bearers, and processional leaders were all young people on the spectrum. It was a sharing of their beautiful gifts and abilities and a blessing to see how each took such joy and pride in their liturgical roles.

Over 50 persons attended the mass and social gathering that followed.

In his homily, Deacon Jerry reminded the families that each day they encounter with love their world of confusion, chaos, doubt, unpredictability, limitations and boundless possibilities, they are indeed images of God's mercy and models of His love in the world today.

This is evidenced by their unconditional love, patience, endurance, and willingness to joyfully sacrifice themselves for the good of their children.

The Mass was celebrated as part of Autism Awareness Month. Raising awareness of Autism through the celebration of the Eucharist brings others to unify in the challenges met by these families and to share their love and concern for these beautiful children of God. It also serves as a call for all our parishes to consider a regularly scheduled Mass of inclusion where these children, young adults and their families can attend Mass in their own faith community and feel welcome and at peace.

As on parent stated, " It was such a joy to participate in the Mass and not worry one bit about how others in the church may react to the actions and sounds of my autistic son."

We need to provide these opportunities to all our families with children on the autism spectrum and welcome them always into our liturgical assemblies.

Here are some information about Autism spectrum disorders by WHO

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a diverse group of conditions. They are characterized by some degree of difficulty with social interaction and communication. Other characteristics are atypical patterns of activities and behaviours, such as difficulty with transition from one activity to another, a focus on details and unusual reactions to sensations.

The abilities and needs of autistic people vary and can evolve over time. While some people with autism can live independently, others have severe disabilities and require life-long care and support. Autism often has an impact on education and employment opportunities. In addition, the demands on families providing care and support can be significant. Societal attitudes and the level of support provided by local and national authorities are important factors determining the quality of life of people with autism.

Characteristics of autism may be detected in early childhood, but autism is often not diagnosed until much later.

People with autism often have co-occurring conditions, including epilepsy, depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as well as challenging behaviours such as difficulty sleeping and self-injury. The level of intellectual functioning among autistic people varies widely, extending from profound impairment to superior levels.

It is estimated that worldwide about 1 in 100 children has autism (1). This estimate represents an average figure, and reported prevalence varies substantially across studies. Some well-controlled studies have, however, reported figures that are substantially higher. The prevalence of autism in many low- and middle-income countries is unknown.

Causes

Available scientific evidence suggests that there are probably many factors that make a child more likely to have autism, including environmental and genetic factors.

Extensive research using a variety of different methods and conducted over many years has demonstrated that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine does not cause autism. Studies that were interpreted as indicating any such link were flawed, and some of the authors had undeclared biases that influenced what they reported about their research (2,3,4).

Evidence also shows that other childhood vaccines do not increase the risk of autism. Extensive research into the preservative thiomersal and the additive aluminium that are contained in some inactivated vaccines strongly concluded that these constituents in childhood vaccines do not increase the risk of autism.

A broad range of interventions, from early childhood and across the life span, can optimize the development, health, well-being and quality of life of autistic people. Timely access to early evidence-based psychosocial interventions can improve the ability of autistic children to communicate effectively and interact socially. The monitoring of child development as part of routine maternal and child health care is recommended.

It is important that, once autism has been diagnosed, children, adolescents and adults with autism and their carers are offered relevant information, services, referrals, and practical support, in accordance with their individual and evolving needs and preferences.

The health-care needs of people with autism are complex and require a range of integrated services, that include health promotion, care and rehabilitation. Collaboration between the health sector and other sectors, particularly education, employment and social care, is important.

Interventions for people with autism and other developmental disabilities need to be designed and delivered with the participation of people living with these conditions. Care needs to be accompanied by actions at community and societal levels for greater accessibility, inclusivity and support.

All people, including people with autism, have the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

And yet, autistic people are often subject to stigma and discrimination, including unjust deprivation of health care, education and opportunities to engage and participate in their communities.

People with autism have the same health problems as the general population. However, they may, in addition, have specific health-care needs related to autism or other co-occurring conditions. They may be more vulnerable to developing chronic noncommunicable conditions because of behavioural risk factors such as physical inactivity and poor dietary preferences, and are at greater risk of violence, injury and abuse.

People with autism require accessible health services for general health-care needs like the rest of the population, including promotive and preventive services and treatment of acute and chronic illness. Nevertheless, autistic people have higher rates of unmet health-care needs compared with the general population. They are also more vulnerable during humanitarian emergencies. A common barrier is created by health-care providers' inadequate knowledge and understanding of autism.

WHO resolution on autism spectrum disorders

In May 2014, the Sixty-seventh World Health Assembly adopted a resolution entitled Comprehensive and coordinated efforts for the management of autism spectrum disorders, which was supported by more than 60 countries.

The resolution urges WHO to collaborate with Member States and partner agencies to strengthen national capacities to address ASD and other developmental disabilities.

WHO and partners recognize the need to strengthen countries' abilities to promote the optimal health and well-being of all people with autism.

WHO's efforts focus on:

increasing the commitment of governments to taking action to improve the quality of life of people with autism;

providing guidance on policies and action plans that address autism within the broader framework of health, mental and brain health and disabilities;

contributing to strengthening the ability of the health workforce to provide appropriate and effective care and promote optimal standards of health and well-being for people with autism; and

promoting inclusive and enabling environments for people with autism and other developmental disabilities and providing support to their caregivers.

WHO Comprehensive mental health action plan 2013-2030 and World Health Assembly Resolution WHA73.10 for "global actions on epilepsy and other neurological disorders" calls on countries to address the current significant gaps in early detection, care, treatment and rehabilitation for mental and neurodevelopmental conditions, which include autism. It also calls for counties to address the social, economic, educational and inclusion needs of people living with mental and neurological disorders, and their families, and to improve surveillance and relevant research.

I can share my own experience with you - Many unexpected things can be distracting to students with autism. Fluorescent lights, smells, and noises from other students can make it difficult for students with autism to concentrate. Using cool, calm colors in the classroom can help create a more relaxing atmosphere. Avoid covering the walls with too many posters or other things to look at. Some students may even benefit from their own center, where they can spend time away from any possible distractions.
