     Wakefield was an author who documented that autism was caused by vaccinations.  This was found to be deliberately misleading and cost Wakefield his license to practice medicine.
In the year 1990 a movie was released called "Rain Man". The movie depicted two brothers, one of whom was autistic. The portrayal by Dustin Hoffman was the first most people had ever seen of autism.]]> 2019-09-18 06:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385733937 ahaywarda1 https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385738225 Impaired Theory of Mind-difficulty having empathy for others
Weak Central Coherence- autistic children often have tunnel vision.  The focus is on each individual detail and not the larger picture
Impaired Executive Function-weak organizational and planning skills, poor working memory, inhibition and impulse control, poor time management skills, lessened adaptability.]]> 2019-09-18 06:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385738225 ahaywarda1 https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385741161 2019-09-18 06:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385741161 ahaywarda1 https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385741745 2019-09-18 06:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/385741745 ahaywarda1 https://padlet.com/ahaywarda1/zr7zr242ptn2/wish/388562682 -social reasoning
