It can if it effects the person enough. Someone with Aspergers should experience a normal lifespan (like anyone with autism) however if they have specific interests this can risk themselves to be in dangerous situations.
Autism is not like a deformity which can certainly shortne lifespan but rather it is somethign someone lives with mentally for the rest of thier lives.
Yes, Autistic children grow-up into Autistic adults and will live as long as neurotypical people. There is nothing about Autism specifically that could shorten a persons life.
Autistic people (identity-first language) live as long as Neurotypical people, Autism doesn't impact on health in such a way that could shorten someone's life. In theory Autistic people have a slightly shorter lifespan because some Autistic people have problems identifying harmful behaviour - such as children who wander near water - also due to prejudice Autistic people may be more likely to be unemployed or be denied equal medical care which impacts on life.
Autism is a neurological difference, it is how the brain works and who you are as an individual. Thus for as long as you live you will be autistic.
Yes, autistic people can live as long as neurotypical people or people with other neurologies. There is nothing about autism that would shorten a persons lifespan.
Children with Autism generally have a normal life expectancy similar to individuals without Autism. However, they may face certain health conditions or challenges associated with Autism that could impact their overall health and well-being. Regular medical check-ups and support services can help address any potential issues and improve their quality of life.
You are born with autism and have it all your life. However, with skills training and preparation, the effects of autism can be better controlled so that it seems to be less obvious when one is older.
Autism cannot be cured - Autism is a neurological difference, not an illness to be cured.A person is born Autistic and remains Autistic their entire life, just as someone who is born Caucasian cannot be 'cured' of being Caucasian. Autism is a neurological difference, you cannot get rid of Autism in a person without changing their brain, which is simply not possible.
Some are, but eatind disorders do tend to affect autistic children a little bit less (statistically speaking) that non-autistic children. Some believe this is because they are less influenced by society around them.
A person is born autistic - they do not become autistic.
Why would you want to minimize self talk in Autistic children?As long as they aren't hurting anyone there's no reason to force a child to go against their nature. In Autistic children self-talk can be a form of stimming so prevent meltdowns, it can also improve social skills for them to be talking to someone...even if it is only themselves.
Yes, Autistic children (not 'child with autism') can attend school.Some Autistic children who are severely affected may struggle in mainstream school so may do better in special education, however many Autistic children actually benefit greatly from mainstream schooling as long as they get the correct support. There's a big push to allow more Autistic students into mainstream schooling because it can help improve their symptoms and achievements.
Right now, children born today are expected to live to the age of 78 in the United States. Children in Moncao can live to the age of 89, and children in Chad only have a life expectancy of age 49.
A person doesn't 'end up' autistic, a person is born autistic. Not all autistic people are non-verbal either.
