Autism

We go to college/university, we get jobs, we buy homes, we get married, and we have children. Generally speaking just like neurotypical people we get on with our lives as normal.

no it is just you being a nasty person towards your friends

Autistic children DO feel pain.

According to David Hormander in Harvard medical studies men with clear sperm can never have a child. If they do, for some reason the child will be born with some sort of autism.

Autism is not a disease or a virus, it cannot be passed onto someone else in the same way, Autism is a variant in neurology so it is 'passed on' in the same way as other human variations such as skin colour, or hair colour. Autism can be passed on through genetics, an Autistic person or couple are more likely to have Autistic children than Neurotypical parents.

50-80% of children with the disorder will eventually have seizures

No, there's little reason why autistic people should be homeschooled. Often inclusion in mainstream classrooms can greatly improve an autistic childs ability to function and can increase their achademic success.

Autism is very acceptable, it just depends on the way you look at it.

yes, research says he does.

Biologial. Autism is neurodevelopmental. There are hereditary and genetic ties to autism.

Autism only affects the person with Autism - injustice can effect the family as a whole if they cannot get easy access to Autism services, but Autism doesn't affect relationships of the Autistic persons parents. This is a classic tactic of Autism Speaks, they tell people that Autism ruins families and relationships in order to frame Autism as something terrible so that people give them more money - please don't listen to anti-Autism rhetoric from Autism Speaks.

The life expectancy for girls with Rett Syndrome is about 44 to 48 years old. The syndrome causes physical and mental developmental problems.

no not really , but that depends on the individual , my son cant have food that touches each other on the plate , some children have to have certain foods on a certain day , but everyone is different

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.

yes if it is medical thay have to i live in a small town in middel tn called macon county an was arrested i have to ware adult diapers 24/7 from a werck an did 45 days in county jail an thay had to give them to me an staff nures made me come in her office an she changed them for me i just had to let her know wean i needed one or thay would call me to front of jail about ever 3hours an change it any way even at night

It may, but it is less common than with infantile autism.

Eventual violent outbursts will be caused mainly by bullying by others or by a feeling of being unable to be heard and understood by others.

In a word, no. Some are. Some are not. Only 15% work, for example, because few employers understand the easy, cheap ways to make it possible for us. Many survive because we have to, but research on quality of life suggests that it's usually a struggle for us. We can appear very capable, but our differences in communication and sensory needs mean that we may need adaptations that society just doesn't provide as yet.

But...few people are totally independent. Even if you get on the bus, someone else is driving it!

Autism is NOT a disease. Many diseases do not show symptoms until later in life and as such it is impossible to say how many children are born with diseases. Furthermore it depends on the diseases, the country or location, and the time span of births.

Depends on the kind of autistism, most common i know is asbergers symdrom and ive got asbergers and atm im recieving talk therapy, heavy medication. The talk therapy is where you go to a psychirotrist and talk about your problems and how to overcome them, I have had talk therapy for 3 years since i was 12 and nothing much. Kids with physical autistic kids such as who kids who cant speak recieves therapy on trying to speak.

The kind of theropy autistic kids have is therapy trying to overcome the kid's austic problem

Sociopathy, (or as it's officially called, ASPD) is a mental disorder charecterized by failure to conform to social norms, deception, impulsiveness, irritability and aggressiveness, reckless disregard for safety of self or others, irrisponsibilty, and most importantly a lack or remorse or empathy.

Sociopathy in and of itself is not a crime, most sociopaths are able to live completely fine lives without commiting crimes or getting arrested. That being said, the symptoms of sociopathy, including those listed above, make it very easy to resort to crime, which is why such a large percentage of people in jail, (sometimes up to %50) are sociopaths.

Children with Asperger's Syndrome suffer from sensory sensitivity or are "sensory defensive". This sensitivity can encompass any or all of the senses: sound, touch, taste, sight, and smell. These sensitivities are real, and cause the sufferer much discomfort, some describing it as 'painful'. Sensory overload can trigger a meltdown, often being the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. Some sensitivity's will diminish with exposure and the passage of time. Others will remain as severe for life. Does your child insist on wearing the same clothes, hat or shoes all the time? Does your child ask for the same foods for every meal? Does he/she shy away from outdoor activities or not like the flashing lights at a school disco? Do they become distracted by strong smells, or notice smells before anyone else? Do they get intensely frightened by balloons popping, fireworks or crowds applauding? Then they may have sensory issues. Some stimuli your child may be sensitive to:- Auditory -mower; vacuum; fire alarm; clock ticking. Visual -sunshine; fluorescent lights; fans; 'trigger' colours. Olfactory (smell) -perfume; deodorant; scented washing powder; toothpaste; insecticides. Tactile -Shirt; shorts; shoes; socks; static in clothes; feel of wind on skin. A lot can be done in managing these sensitivities, such as Sensory Integration, Auditory Integration Training and Occupational Therapy. For light sensitivity there's Irlen Lenses. At home you may consider a "sensory diet" of activities including: Whole body actions e.g. swimming; hanging by the arms; push-ups Proprioceptive activities e.g. pushing hands together in prayer position; pushing against a wall with legs Vestibular-proprioceptive activities e.g. swinging; trampoline; bike riding; dance Tactile activities e.g. body brushing; rolling on an exercise ball For sound sensitivities consider using ear plugs, headphones or even blue-tac in the ears to muffle the sounds. Having your child listen to music they enjoy (of a soothing nature rather than heavy metal) can benefit, and monitor the lighting in your home - natural is best. There are many other factors that can contribute to sensory overload. Many Asperger children are extremely sensitive to the moods of other people, especially when they are in close proximity. The effects of other people's moods seem to wash over ASD children, and it evokes a differing response in each child.
