    I work as a company director for a business providing marketing services. During the past year I have volunteered to support two autistic boys to enable them communicate more effectively. My interest to involve myself in working with autistic children evolved as I was observing my friend’s 7 year old, able and verbal autistic son Matthew (name changed to protect the confidentiality) trying to play with other children and failing it every time due to his limited communication skills. As I perceive play as a fundamental need that allows the child to develop his sense of identity and find friends, build understanding of the world and feel included in it, I decided to look for the naturalistic ways to improve the communication skills both for Matthew and…

    Participant 15 mentioned that she thinks her friend has autism because “she talks weirdly” and “gets confused with past tense and present tense”. Although this may be a case with some people with autism, and she could correctly answer the following questions regarding core attributes of individuals with autism (i.e., may need help with learning how to read or write, may have difficulty in talking or expressing themselves), if such a feature is her only way to determine whether someone has autism or not, this may lead her to a serious misunderstanding and misinterpretation. A few students commented about what a person would look like if he or she has autism, and how they would recognise a person with autism by appearance, according to their…

    A survey conducted through National Health Interview Survey from 2014 showed that 1 in 45 children are diagnosed with autism (Bush, 1). The characteristics of autism have a wide spectrum, including struggle with communication, behaviour, social interaction or having limited interests. Parents sometimes have a hard time raising a child with autism, not because the child is difficult but because the child is not developing or growing typically. Parents or caregivers can intervene in the child’s development by getting therapy for their child, at a young age, in hopes of changing the way the child’s brain is evolving. By getting therapy it is hoped that the autistic child can overcome the challenge of autism.…

    We are all social beings; we all want someone by our side. Rumors have stated that individuals with autism are unable or unwilling to form meaningful social relationships. However, the truth could not be farther than that. These rumors consume the truth slowly, but truth prevails. Although individuals with autism have difficulty with social interaction, despite this difficulty, one with autism can still have close social relationships, fall in love and have children (Autism myths, page 2).…

    Some people think that autism is funny, even funny enough to make jokes about. Some people think that just because they don 't have a family member or friend that has autism, they can make jokes and talk trash about people with autism. But little do they know that it is a serious condition that hurts relationships, families, it destroys lives and people’s mental health. People without autism don 't realize how easy their life is. They don 't appreciate their “normal” lifestyle.…

    Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) When you hear the phrase autism spectrum disorder what is the first thing that comes to your mind? According to Chevallier et al. (2014) “autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by marked impairments in socialization and, in particular, by a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people, and a lack of social or emotional reciprocity” (p.972). By better understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we might be able to explain the performance gap between children with ASD and children without ASD in the theory of mind (ToM) task.…

    The National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR) Autism Genome Project have discovered irregularities in the corpus callosum (which affects communication between the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere of the brain), the cerebellum (which affects coordination, balance, and motor activity), and an enlarged amygdala. The amygdala plays an important role in emotion and social behavior by linking perceptual representations to cognition and behavior on the basis of the emotional or social value of the stimuli (Baron-Cohen, et, al, 2000). Recent evidence suggests that people with autism have abnormalities in the amygdala. This accounts for their inability to recognize fearful situations.…

    This might just be a tip of the iceberg of the everyday life that an autistic child is going through. I never had a chance to be genuine empathetic to them until I interned at Qingcongquan, one of China’s leading institute for autistic children. My first days at the institute were challenging, puzzling, and all-encompassing. These children require special guidance with social interactions in forming relationships. They showed very different behaviors in how they tried to make sense of an overwhelming world.…
