Best Answer

A special interest for autistic individuals is a sense of purpose and ways they learn to socialize. Sometimes they're interest can change into a new one. Some have more special interest than just one. It doesn't mean they are causing harm on themselves and others. And it doesn't mean they like their interest more than people. For even autistic adults if they like things that are not on their age level that should never be considered as a bad example.

Anyone can fall in love with anyone. No matter what their handicap.

What do you do if your autistic student is pressing down to hard with a pencil?

When an Autistic student is pressing down too hard with a pencil you would do as you would with a child of any other neurology, it may have absolutely nothing to do with their being Autistic. As they're Autistic they may have sensory issues which can factor into this, often Autistic people prefer firm touch, in which case it would be a matter of encouraging them to be lighter in pressing down. as a teacher you do whatever is needed to encourage that child, every child will be different.


Why can't some autism people talk?

You can hear Autistic people simply by listening to them - whether they talk verbally or communicate via other means. The organisation Autism Speaks has the tagline 'It's time to listen' but they refuse to listen to autistic people...you can't hear unless you listen, and that's when problems arise with people seeking to 'help' autistic people when they don't know what autistic people need or want.

Are you ill if you have autism?

Autism is considered a "neurodevelopmental disorder." Many parents of autistic children are trying to get the DSM to reclassify autism as not being a mental illness. Autistic people can, however, have many other psychological illness's such as OCD. It depends on what you mean by "ill"; if you're technically speaking then check with the DSM, but if you are talking in a more judgmental sense then the answer can vary. No matter what autistic people are still people and deserve to be treated as such.
