Autism And Society
Jonathan Mayheart
Almost everyone knows something about Autism, heard the name or
read something about its symptoms, but the true fact if the
matter is that autism is not known and that it is kept only for
the friends and families of those how are and have been affected
by this condition.
In the widest and most general description Autism is a mental
condition, mainly effecting the ability to communicate and
focus attention on what sometimes seems like an inability to
show affection and feeling towards others. One of the most
popular ways of defining autism is that the autistic person is
detached from the environment, it is like having a glass wall
between you and the autistic who you are trying to communicate.
Autism has been the cause for many studies and a lot of
experimentation, it has many scientists and psychologists
working all their lives to try and understand this mystery
better, to try and ease the suffering of the families and
relatives of autistics everywhere, in getting this wall down,
improving the communication and help improve that life quality
of autistics.
There are different levels of autism, usually even before
diagnosing the seriousness of the condition you can have
several indications of the severity of the condition, many
parents confirm that they already had an idea of some kind of
neurological problem or a mental condition in their mind a few
months after the baby was born. When a baby is diagnosed as
suffering from autism the next step is to find a second
opinion, not because the doctor might be wrong, but to
reconfirm the diagnosis and to learn more about autism, as well
as averaging the level of autism the person has.
The lake of social interaction abilities and the other symptoms
of autism do not mean that autism equals retardation, as some
autistics are highly skilled and many are in fact geniuses in
many different areas, some autistic have phenomenal
mathematical skills, it has been clearly proven that some
autistic have a superior overall ability in math, as well as
outstanding memory skills.
One of the recognizable and very unpleasant physical
expressions of autism is that the autistic person has
repetitive movements, even repeating a word or sentence, these
movements and convulsions are one of the signs needed to define
autism behavior, on top of the repetitive movements there are,
sometimes catatonic behavior which is misinterpret by many who
are not aware of autistic behavior.
The most important things the public has to learn is that with
recent findings, autism has been found to be much more complex
and that some experiments have resulted in communicating with
people of different levels of autism, we should know and
remember that they are not retarded and sometimes even gifted,
that they are oversensitive to information and store it
immediately, they are curious and intelligent and deserve
attention just like any other person, it has also been found
that although they are incapable of showing affection that
certainly have deep and strong feelings.
