Autistic Child Observation
One of the most impressive events that I attended was helping autistic children in the Sunny Family to successfully sponsor the arts exhibition. Under the help of AOA art, an autistic arts association, as a community service volunteer, coming to Sunny family to visit those kids every week, was on my schedule list. Discovering that autistic children preferred to grab their brushes with mixed colors and scrabble unconsciously instead of communication, Impressed by the warm and cold color overlapped, my sense was stimulated by not only for the strong colors but also the passion of autistic kids. I discussed with the director of community service director, collected all their paintings, and determined the exhibition location by calling AOA art.

    The effects of autism on communication are extremely varied. Most individuals do not have any trouble with pronunciation. The problems lie in using language effectively. Common problems are lack of eye contact, poor attention, being able to point objects to others, and difficulty with the 'give and take' in normal conversation. Some individuals sometimes use language in unusual ways, retaining features of earlier stages of language development for long periods or throughout their lives. Some speak only single words, while others repeat a mimicked phrase over and over…

    At USC Upstate all freshmen enrolled in English 101 are required to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, written by Mark Haddon. The novel focuses on an autistic teenage boy named Christopher. In order to understand and interpret Christopher’s actions, we are required to attend two PREFACE events during the semester, all of which are about autism. The first PREFACE event I attended was a huge let down, so I was really dreading going to another one. The second PREFACE event that I chose to attend was “Life on the Spectrum: Living, Learning and Growing as an Autistic Person.” It was by far my favorite event of the two. The speaker, Howie Jordan, is a student at USC Upstate who has autism. There could not have been a better speaker picked for this event. Howie was an extraordinary speaker. He did an amazing job sharing his experience as an autistic child, while keeping the crowd interested.…

    Due to the prevalence of autism, it is not surprising that multitudinous forms of autism-awareness art exists. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-time by Mark Haddon, “Only if You Knew Me” by Kerry Magro, and “He’s Just a Boy” by Tina M. Frank are a few of the virtually endless texts regarding this topic. When comparing and contrasting these three texts, it is obvious that people are affected individually by autism. Each text portrays their experience with autism by using different literary devices such as narration, repetition, and characterization.…

Their longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for providing help to individuals with autism and their families.

    Successful treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is entirely contingent on an accurate diagnosis. Although many resources exist to help the clinician with differential diagnosis of children, particularly in early childhood, the resources available for evaluating adolescents and adults is far less prevalent. Clinicians often rely on multiple forms of data from numerous sources to make accurate diagnoses, which for adults is a complex process. Lack of availability of instruments that have been normed with individuals with ASD creates limitations for the clinician. In addition, gathering background information from adolescents and adults on the spectrum can be challenging for a number of reasons, including poor self-reporting…

    In the month of March 2012, I volunteered at Burger School for Students with Autism in the fine arts classroom where students learn about music, fine arts, reading, and computers. I began my volunteering in the first week of March and finished my total of fifteen hours on the sixteenth of April. While volunteering at Burger, I was supervised by a woman named Michelle Orow, the technology teacher in the fine arts classroom. In the process of completing a degree in elementary education, I have enrolled in a class specifically designed to increase my understanding of students with different disabilities and the resources that are available to help them function and succeed in the classroom. While taking A Child with Special Needs course I received an assignment requiring myself to volunteer at an organization that works with children, adults, or both with special needs for fifteen hours over a course of no less than two weeks. Also, I am writing this paper because I am pursuing a career in elementary education, which may require me to have to the proper knowledge and skills for working with students with special needs.…

    There seems to be a pattern in many families of autism or related disabilities, encouraging the theory that the disorder has a genetic basis. While no one gene has been singled out as causing autism, researchers are looking for irregular portions of genetic code that children with autism may have inherited. It also seems that some children are born with a susceptibility to autism, but researchers have not yet named a single “trigger” that causes autism to develop.…

I would use some of the information from this article that I selected but there are many articles on autism. Some of the factors that will affect social development in adulthood would be lack of communication skills and eye contact as well as other behaviors associated with autism like many do not communicate but always have to make loud moaning noises which tend to annoy many people. Many with autism are in there on world and do not try to communicate or participate in other activities with people. A midlife transition can bring about boredom…

    Repetitive Behaviors- Common repetitive behaviors include hand-flapping, rocking, jumping and twirling, arranging and rearranging objects and repeating sounds, words or phrases. Sometimes the repetitive behavior is self-stimulating, such as wiggling fingers in front of the eyes. The tendency to engage in a restricted range of activities can be seen in the way that many children with autism play with toys. Some spend hours lining up toys in a specific way instead of using them for pretend play. Many children and adults with autism need and demand extreme consistency in their environment and daily routine. Slight changes can be extremely stressful and lead to outbursts (Dawson ,G.,Rosaoff 2013).…
