ASD Disorder Analysis

ASD is a disorder in which children struggle socially and with communication. That being said, the article states that the “cognitive and reading profiles of children with ASD vary dramatically” (Lucas & Norbury, 2014). Therefore, because of the variation and no set determination, so many children have poor reading comprehension and in turn, struggle with their social and communication skills.
Communication Modalities In the study, visual and auditory modalities are used. The article explained that they tried using auditory to present “grammatically and semantically coherent sentences relative to recall of meaningless word strings” (Lucas & Norbury, 2014). They also used visual processing. What they found; however, was that children

However, as the speech therapist sat and observed the child as he socially engaged with others, she noted that his level of interaction was more than a speech impairment. As a result, a social worker sat in to observe the student as well, and recommend the schools OT to perform a screening because he showed signs of ASD.

    Studies show there is a relationship between the lack of information and awareness about ASD and the response to it, while informed participants have a positive reaction to it, those who are not as well-informed have a more negative reaction to it. This study is to examine if a correlation exists between misinformation of ASD and the positive or negative reaction to it. Using an online survey, we will evaluate if those who do worse in the theoretical part will also have a negative point of view when it comes to it. Nevertheless, other studies have found the awareness of movements that discuss ASD can contribute in the positive or negative reaction to it, especially, the neurodiversity movement. In addition, we will also see if there is a difference…

    Asperger’s syndrome is a disease that is similar to autism in certain ways and can be considered an autism spectrum disorder. However, the main difference between asperger’s and full blown autism is that there is usually no cognitive or linguistic deficiency related to asperger’s; instead, patients may have severe difficulties in social interactions and all forms of non verbal communication. Often, this goes hand in hand with physical clumsiness and fixations with certain objects, patterns or concepts. People with asperger's tend to use language atypically; taking things in the literal sense and can have difficulty understanding non-precise forms of communication. Finally, patients of asperger’s have limited ability to empathize with others.…

    Adults and children diagnosed with this syndrome have difficulty in interacting with others socially and manifest a restrictive range of interests and/or repetitive behaviors. However, unlike other forms of ASD, those affected by Asperger Syndrome do not show or have significant delays or difficulties in language or in cognitive development. Some patients even demonstrate advanced vocabulary – often and usually in a highly specialized field of interest. The Asperger syndrome is a developmental disability that affects the life of a person, and how he/she acts interacts with the surroundings. People with this type of syndrome perceive the world differently, hence they treat certain parts of their lives differently than what people without this syndrome would.…
