You can't - autism is an absolute, you are either autistic or you are not and there is no way that a person can become 'less autistic'. A person with autism can improve in areas such as commnuication, social skills, and functioning, this tends to happen naturally as autistic people get older and learn new skills, but it is helped by supporting and understanding the autistic person.
Autistic kids and teens do want friends, the idea that autistic people are anti-social is false. Autistic people often want friends but struggle to make and maintain friendships.
Yes, of course Autistic children will cuss.Autistic children are little different to allistic or neurotypical children, if they are verbal then they will potentially cuss just the same as any other children. There is nothing about autism that would prevent an Autistic child from cussing or make them less likely to cuss.
No, obviously it's not okay for autistic kids or any kids to eat dirt. eating dirt could make them seriously ill as it could contain any contaminates or bacteria.
They can.
Kids with autism can 'freak out' when other kids cry, all autistic people are different. Autistic people have lower levels of cogitative empathy, meaning that they may struggle to recognise emotions in others or acting appropriately in response compared to neurotypical people, however autistic people have significantly higher levels of affective or 'true' empathy compared to neurotypical people. This means that autistic people can be very sensitive to the emotions of others, when they are able to recognise others are upset it can make autistic people very upset too.
fat but
Yes
yes it is. my friend has ADD but she still does well in school academically and socially. ADD is easier to hide. Autism can make it hard for kids to learn, and they might have a harder time hiding the fact that they are autistic. they might also suffer socially because they are "weird".
Firstly, it's offensive for you to imply that autistic people are abnormal - autistic people are different to neurotypical people, not less than. A person is born autistic, it is not something that happens to 'normal' people or something that you turn into, you are always autistic.
A person doesn't become autistic and being quiet doesn't make someone autistic - a person is born autistic.
No but he has a foundation for children with disabilities such as autism. Autistic kids have a special place in his heart that came from when he worked with an autistic child in NC.
Autism is a spectrum. It's like asking "How many restaurants serve coffee that isn't hot?" A TSS who worked with autistic children in Lancaster County got upset when that Washington newspaper asserted that autism was unknown among the Amish. It's not. It is diagnosed less often, she admitted,but that's because, in her opinion, the Amish lifestyle is less stressful for kids. Many autistic kids are terribly upset by loud and busy environments. There's also a financial inventive for schools to get an autism diagnoses for kids that, in Amish schools, are simply considered, "all boy." It's probably as common in the Amish as in English populations.
