Why are people with autism unable to sense other people's feelings?

No one can really 'sense' other people's feelings, no one has that ability. People determine how other people feel based on body language, as Autistic people do not understand body language it is harder to understand how someone is feeling unless they say how they are feeling.

∙ 7y agoCommunication can be a struggle and very stressful for people with autism-even if they already know how to speak. For some reason responding to questions, or asking a question. Being involved in a conversation. Autistic individuals are more like picture thinkers. Normal people think in words when they communicate.

∙ 7y agoThere are times they can't but that doesn't they don't feel for that person. Autistic indivuals can feel for other people. They do know how they're feeling. If people say they have lack of empathy and they're indifferent to human emotions-that's all a myth. Being robotic and montones are all just a myth. Most don't react to facial expressions and don't copy facial expressions from other people. Most don't laugh when other people laugh. For me, I don't use facial expressions too much. I don't laugh when other people laugh-I laugh on my own terms.

How do autistic people feel about their autism?
It depends on the person. People with autism are, first and foremost, people. And just like all people they have their own feelings and opinions about themselves even if they are not able to express these opinions. Some people with autism embrace their disorder and celebrate their "unique" way of living in the world. They are proud of their disability and do not wish for a cure. These people are almost exclusively high-functioning. Often, but not always, they are also successful: they are able to have a job and/or family and/or live independently. Other high-functioning people find their autism quite disabling and if a cure was offered would take it. Often these autistic people have extreme difficulty making friends, have extreme difficulty holding down a job or are unemployed, want to get married and have children but are unable to, may live off of a meager SSI check, may live in Section 8 housing and in poverty and endure other hardships. We do not know how most people with low-functioning autism view their autism because most are unable to tell us. The few low-functioning people who are able to communicate have just as varied views as those who are high-functioning: some view it as a different way of being and others long for a cure from their low-functioning condition. Every autistic person feels differently about his or her autism. If you want to know how an autistic person feels about his or her autism than you should ask him or her rather than to make generalizations about all autistic people. If the autistic person is unable to tell you than it is probably best not to assume anything but to help them live the best life they can.

Why is the term bedridden politically incorrect?
In keeping with the "person first" descriptions of people with disabilities, the correct description should be a person "unable to sit out of bed". "Person" first, then a physical description. An example: "Mary's daughter has autism", not "Mary's daughter is autistic", or worse, "Mary's daughter suffers from autism".
Why dont people want to open up?
People may not open up and share their feelings because they are shy. People may also be hiding pain and are unable to open up.
What are facts about autism?
- Not listening to others. -Want something but cannot ask -Have a interest in a specific field. Autism is not a single thing, it is a range or "spectrum" disorder. It is not a disease. It is not curable. People who are autistic are not all alike. A few are completely unable to communicate. Autism is probably caused by genetic mutations and as many as 12 different gene combinations may be associated with autism. A few autistic people have extraordinary abilities or gifts, often with numbers, music, art, or science. People with milder forms of autism spectrum disorder are diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. These people typically show a delayed verbal ability, unusual speech patterns, little eye contact, limited social skills, and intense focus on narrow subjects of interest to them. While autism is not curable, it is treatable with intensive attention to social skills and behaviors. People who receive intervention early in life will have many fewer social problems later.
What do you think about autism?
It amazes me, makes me sad, and makes me happy. Autism is just a mystery. I watch my brother wondering what he would be like if he wasn't autistic. You can't place the feeling of it if unless you know and get along with an autistic person. Its just heartbreaking sometimes too see a person unable to express there feelings, which is hard, but it happens! :) So over all i think of it as a mystery. But something that has amazed me as well. (Its hard to put into words as you can tell! lol)
Why do some children with autism hate to hear people singing?
Many children with autism have sensory integration disorder. They might be oversensitive or undersensitive to sensory input. For example, a person with autism might be oversensitive to sound - hearing sounds that other people do not, panicking at certain sounds, being unable to function in an area that is too noisy. The volume, the pitch, the tone, the quality - certain ones can be painful to a person with sensory integration disorder. dont know, it just makes you want to explode

Is Asperger's syndrome more adverse than autism?
no.A:Some people describe Asperger's Syndrome as a mild form of autism. This is inaccurate. Asperger's Syndrome and autism can be equally severe or equally mild. There is a range from mild to severe of each.It is labeled as autism if the child has mental retardation, whereas Asperger's Syndrome is associated with average or above average intelligence. But, when people recognize that a person is retarded, they have different expectations, so certain situations can be more difficult for a person with Asperger's Syndrome because other people expect more, not understanding their difficulties.The diagnostic criteria of both are very similar. It might be labeled as autism if the child has difficulties that are recognized at a young age, but in later years, it could be rediagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome.Asperger's Syndrome is sometimes called high-functioning autism, which means they are apparently better able to function in society. However, some people who have Asperger's Syndrome cannot function in society. Similarly, some people with autism can function in society. Because people with Asperger's Syndrome tend to have higher intelligence, they can find ways to compensate for some of their difficulties, but that can result in more stress than a person with autism (or Asperger's Syndrome) who avoids the situations causing those difficulties entirely.Some people who have worked with children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome have speculated that they are differences. One possible difference is that children with autism have better motor control, and thus are better at sports and physical activities, whereas children with Asperger's Syndrome have poor motor control (clumsiness). Another possible difference is that children with autism do not care whether they have friends, but children with Asperger's Syndrome want friends but are unable to develop friendships, so they feel more depressed about that.In summary, there are differences, but they are probably equally adverse. You could find some people with autism who have cases that are more adverse than some people with Asperger's Syndrome, but you could also find some people with Asperger's Syndrome who have cases that are more adverse than some people with autism.
